    Abstract: An apparatus includes an external terminal, an output circuit having an impedance corresponding to a code signal, and a calibration circuit configured to produce the code signal responsive to a comparison of a voltage at the external terminal with a reference voltage, the comparison performed by a first cycle period in a first mode and by a second cycle which is longer than the first cycle period in a second mode.

    Abstract: A device includes a power supply line, an output terminal, a circuit configured to perform a logic operation on a first signal and a second signal to produce a third signal, first, second and third transistors. The first transistor is coupled between the power supply line and the output terminal and includes a control gate supplied with the third signal. The second and third transistors are coupled in series between the power supply line and the output terminal. The second transistor includes a control gate supplied with the first signal and the third transistor includes a control gate supplied with a fourth signal that is different from each of the first, second and third signals.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for pre-emphasis control are described. An example apparatus includes a pull-up circuit and a pull-down circuit. The pull-up circuit is configured to receive a pull-up data activation signal and drive a data terminal to a pull-up voltage responsive to an active pull-up data activation signal. The pull-down circuit is configured to receive a pull-down activation signal and drive a data terminal to a pull-down voltage responsive to an active pull-down data activation signal. The example apparatus further includes a pull-up pre-emphasis circuit that includes a pre-emphasis timing control circuit configured to provide a timing control signal, and further includes a pull-up logic circuit. A pull-up pre-emphasis control signal based on pull-up data activation signal is provided to control providing pull-up pre-emphasis for greater than one unit interval of data when the pull-up data activation signal remains active for greater than one unit interval.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first channel, a second channel and a calibration circuit. The first channel includes a first command control circuit. The second channel includes a second command control circuit independent of the first command control circuit. The calibration circuit is shared by the first channel and the second channel to generate a calibration code responsive to a calibration command generated responsive to a first calibration command from the first command control circuit and a second calibration command from the second command control circuit.
