    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) engine, an input/output (I/O) gating circuit and a control logic circuit. The memory cell array includes bank arrays, each of the bank arrays includes a first sub array and a second sub array, and each of the first sub array and the second sub array includes a normal cell region to store data bits and a parity cell region to store parity bits. The ECC engine generates the parity bits and corrects error bit. The I/O gating circuit is connected between the ECC engine and the memory cell array. The control logic circuit controls the I/O gating circuit to perform column access to the normal cell region according to a multiple of a burst length and to perform column access to the parity cell region according to a non-multiple of the burst length partially.

    Abstract: An on-die termination (ODT) circuit includes a calibration unit, an offset-code generating unit, an adder, and an ODT unit. The calibration unit generates a pull-up code and a pull-down code. The offset-code generates a pull-up offset code and a pull-down offset code based on a mode-register-set signal, the pull-up code, and the pull-down code. The adder adds the pull-up offset code and the pull-down offset code to the pull-up code and the pull-down code, respectively, and generates a pull-up calibration code and a pull-down calibration code. The ODT unit changes ODT resistance in response to the pull-up calibration code and the pull-down calibration code.

    Abstract: Provided are an equalizer and a semiconductor memory device including the same. The equalizer includes a delay circuit and an inverting circuit. The delay circuit is configured to output, in response to a select signal, one of a delay signal delaying an input signal applied to an input/output node and an inverted signal inverting the input signal. The inverting circuit is configured to invert a signal provided from the delay circuit and output the inverted signal to the input/output node. The equalizer is configured such that when the delay circuit outputs the delay signal, the equalizer operates as an inductive bias circuit amplifying the input signal and outputting the amplified input signal, and when the delay circuit outputs the inverted signal, the equalizer operates as a latch circuit storing and outputting the input signal.

    Abstract: An input buffer includes a first buffer, a feedback circuit and a second buffer circuit. The feedback circuit includes a feedback resistor and a feedback inverter. The first buffer may be configured to output an amplification signal to an output node of the first buffer based on an input signal. The feedback circuit connected to the output node of the first buffer may be configured to control the amplification signal. The second buffer circuit may be configured to output a buffer output signal by buffering the amplification signal. The feedback resistor may receive the amplification signal from the output node of the first buffer and provide a feedback signal to a feedback node. The feedback inverter is connected between the feedback node and the output node. The feedback inverter may be configured to control the amplification signal based on the feedback signal.

    Abstract: A duty cycle corrector includes a sensing unit, a pad unit, a fuse unit, and a driver unit. The sensing unit generates at least one sensing signal based on the sensed duty cycle ratio of an output signal. The pad unit outputs at least one decision signal based on the at least one sensing signal. The fuse unit generates a duty cycle control signal based on at least one received fuse control signal. The driver unit adjusts a duty cycle ratio of an input signal to generate the output signal based on the duty cycle control signal. The driver unit adjusts the duty cycle ratio of the input signal by adjusting a pull-up strength or a pull-down strength of the input signal based on the duty cycle control signal.
