    摘要: A delay line includes first to n-th delay cells and a dummy delay cell, ‘n’ being an integer greater than or equal to 3. The first to n-th delay cells sequentially delay an input signal to respectively generate first to nth output signals. The dummy delay cell delays the n-th output signal based on a delay control voltage to generate a dummy output signal. A delay amount of each of the first to (n−1)-th delay cells is adjusted on a basis of the delay control voltage and the output signal of the delay cell of a next stage of the corresponding to delay cell, and a delay amount of the nth delay cell is adjusted on a basis of the delay control voltage and the dummy output signal.

    摘要: A memory system includes a representative memory device directly outputting a representative data strobe signal, at least one non-representative memory device outputting a non-representative data strobe signal through the representative memory device, and a controller generating an internal delay clock signal synchronized with the representative data strobe signal. The controller outputs a test mode code defining a delay time using the internal delay clock signal as a reference signal. The at least one non-representative memory device adjusts a phase of the non-representative data strobe signal such that the non-representative data strobe signal has a delay time corresponding to the test mode code.
