A calibration circuit includes replica buffers that have a substantially same circuit configuration as at least a part of an output buffer, an oscillator circuit that generates an internal clock in response to issuance of a calibration command, and a control circuit that controls an impedance of the replica buffers in synchronization with the internal clock. According to the present invention, because a calibration operation that does not depend on an external clock is performed, even when a frequency of the external clock is changed according to an operation mode or the like, it is possible to maintain a constant period of time given to a single adjustment step or a constant time required for a series of calibration operations.

AZQ calibration command internally generated from an external command different from a ZQ calbration command so as to automatically perform an additional ZQ calibration operation. A command interval between an imputted command and a next command is effectively employed to obtain a ZQ calibration period. The external command different from the ZQ calibration command is preferably a self-refreshed command. The addition of the ZQ calibration operation shortens intervals between ZQ calibration operations. Thus, it is possible to obtain a ZQ calibration circuit capable of performing a ZQ calibration operation more accurately.

To include a first replica buffer that has substantially the same circuit configuration as a pull-up circuit which constitutes an output buffer and a second replica buffer that has substantially the same circuit configuration as a pull-down circuit which constitutes the output buffer. When a first calibration command ZQCS is issued, either a control signal ACT1 or ACT2 is activated, and a calibration operation is performed for either the first replica buffer or the second replica buffer. When a second calibration command ZQCL is issued, both of the control signals ACT1, ACT2 are activated and the calibration operation is performed for both the first replica buffer and the second replica buffer.

One interface chip and a plurality of core chips are stacked, and these semiconductor chips are electrically connected to each other via a plurality of through silicon vias. A data signal output from a driver circuit is input into the core chip via one of the through silicon vias. An output selection circuit selects any one of the through silicon vias by activating a corresponding one of a plurality of tri-state inverters. When an inverter is activated, a primary selection circuit causes a test signal to be supplied to a receiver circuit from a test pad. When the inverter is inactivated, a data signal from any one of the through silicon vias is supplied to the receiver circuit.

A ZQ calibration command is internally generated from an external command different from a ZQ calibration command so as to automatically perform an additional ZQ calibration operation. A command interval between an inputted command and a next command is effectively employed to obtain a ZQ calibration period. The external command different from the ZQ calibration command is preferably a self-refreshed command. The addition of the ZQ calibration operation shortens intervals between ZQ calibration operations. Thus, it is possible to obtain a ZQ calibration circuit capable of performing a ZQ calibration operation more accurately.

A fuse latch circuit starts a precharge operation for reading out a state of a fuse element when receiving an external command which is a command to reset an operation mode register (MRS reset command) after power-on, and reads out and latches the state of the fuse element after completion of the precharge operation.

A semiconductor storage device includes: an input buffer that receives address data and command data; a first through-latch-type latch circuit that latches the command data in synchronism with a rising edge of a clock signal; and a second through-latch-type latch circuit that latches the address data in synchronism with a falling edge of the clock signal.

The semiconductor memory device includes plural core chips that are allocated with different chip identification information from each other and an interface chip that controls the plural core chips. The interface chip receives address information to specify memory cells and commonly supplies a part of the address information as chip selection information for comparison with the chip identification information to the plural core chips. As a result, since the controller recognizes that an address space is simply enlarged, the same interface as that in the semiconductor memory device according to the related art can be used.
