    Abstract: A signal receiving device may include a high-speed receiving circuit, a low-speed receiving circuit, a low-speed synchronization circuit and a low-speed synchronization circuit. The high-speed receiving circuit receives an input signal and generate a high-speed received signal in a first operation mode. The high-speed synchronization circuit generates a high-speed synchronized signal to synchronize the high-speed received signal with a clock signal. The low-speed receiving circuit receives the input signal and generate a low-speed received signal in a second operation mode. The low-speed synchronization circuit generates a low-speed synchronized signal to synchronize the low-speed received signal with the clock signal. According to an operation mode, one of the high-speed synchronized signal and the low-speed synchronized signal is selected as an internal signal.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. A buffer circuit, performing an optimized operation according to the present disclosure, includes a pause detector, a toggle detector, and an output signal controller. The pause detector receives an input signal and generates a pause signal which indicates whether the input signal is in a pause state. The toggle detector receives the input signal and the pause signal and generates a toggle signal which indicates whether the input signal is in a toggle state. The output signal controller generates an output signal which controls input buffer circuits according to the toggle signal.

    Abstract: A voltage generation circuit may include: a first transistor coupled to an internal supply voltage terminal, and configured as a diode-connected transistor; a second transistor coupled to the first transistor and configured as a diode-connected transistor; and a third transistor coupled between the second transistor and a ground voltage terminal, and configured to operate according to a first reference voltage generated based on an external supply voltage. The voltage generation circuit may limit a variation in level of a second reference voltage which is generated through a drain terminal of the second transistor as a threshold voltage of the second transistor rises according to a rise in level of the internal supply voltage.

    Abstract: Provided is a calibration circuit and operating method of the calibration circuit. A calibration circuit includes a first resistor code output circuit and a second resistor code output circuit. The first resistor code output circuit is coupled to an external resistor through an input/output pad, performs a first calibration operation, based on a first resistor value, such that a target voltage applied to a first reference node coupled to the input/output pad has a set voltage level, and outputs a first resistor code as a result obtained by performing the first calibration operation. The second resistor code output circuit receives the target voltage, sets an internal resistor value, based on the first resistor code, performs a second calibration operation, based on a second resistor value different from the first resistor value, and outputs a second resistor code as a result obtained by performing the second calibration operation. The first resistor value is a resistor value of the first resistor.
