Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for monitoring the duty cycle of a memory clock signal. The apparatus for monitoring a duty cycle of a memory clock signal includes a clock frequency converter configured to generate a second monitoring target clock signal by decreasing a frequency of a first monitoring target clock signal while maintaining a duty cycle of the first monitoring target clock signal, and a pulse counter configured to measure a pulse width of the second monitoring target clock signal using a reference clock signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for receiving data from memory. The apparatus receives a data signal and a clock signal output from memory and includes a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) including two or more differential signal path units configured to determine and output an output value corresponding to the data signal. Each of the two or more differential signal path units may determine a current output value by reflecting a previous output value fed back from a different one of the two or more differential signal path units in such a way that they operate at different clocks, and may include an offset control unit configured to adjust an offset at an input stage and a feedback control unit configured to change a load of an output stage using the previous output value fed back from the different one of the two or more differential signal path units.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reference voltage calibration apparatus in a memory interface. The reference voltage calibration apparatus includes a first low-pass filter configured to receive a clock signal, a second low-pass filter configured to receive an inverted clock signal that is an inverted signal of the clock signal, a first comparator configured to compare an output of the first low-pass filter with a reference voltage, a second comparator configured to compare an output of the second low-pass filter with the reference voltage, an up/down counter configured to count upward or downward from output values of the first comparator and the second comparator, respectively, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert an up/down counter value into an analog signal, and then output the reference voltage, wherein the digital-to-analog converter applies a calibration voltage based on the reference voltage to the first low-pass filter and to the second low-pass filter.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for adjusting a reference voltage. The apparatus may include a gate signal generation unit for generating an RDQS gate signal, a reference voltage generation unit for setting a reference voltage based on the RDQS gate signal, and a reset counter for holding a voltage at the time at which the RDQS gate signal becomes low when the RDQS gate signal is not applied to the reference voltage generation unit for a specific time period.
