Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes: a data terminal; a first output transistor connected between the data terminal and a first power line supplying a first power potential; a first tristate circuit including an output node connected to a control electrode of the first output transistor, a first pull-up transistor configured to drive the output node to a first logic level, and a first pull-down transistor configured to drive the output node to a second logic level; and a second tristate circuit including an output node connected to the control electrode of the first output transistor, a second pull-up transistor configured to drive the output node to the first logic level, and a second pull-down transistor configured to drive the output node to the second logic level. The second pull-up and pull-down transistors have a different threshold voltage from the first pull-up and pull-down transistors.
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:
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.
