    Abstract: A memory device and method of operation for latency control in which a source clock signal having a first frequency is divided to provide a divided clock signal having a second frequency that is less than the first frequency as an input to a delay-locked loop circuit in an initialization mode. A locking operation may be performed to align the divided clock signal and a feedback clock signal that is generated by delaying the divided clock signal through the delay-locked loop circuit. A loop delay of the delay-locked loop circuit is measured after the locking operation is completed. The latency control is performed efficiently by measuring the loop delay using the divided clock signal in the initialization mode.

    Abstract: A delay-locked loop circuit includes first and second duty cycle correctors, and first and second duty cycle detectors. The first duty cycle corrector adjusts duties of some of first through fourth divided clock signals to provide first through fourth corrected clock signals, in response to a first correction code. The second duty cycle corrector adjusts delays of some of second through fourth delayed clock signals to provide first through fourth source clock signals, in response to a second correction code. The first duty cycle detector detects a duty of first propagation clock signal to generate a first sub-correction code of the first correction code, and duties of first and second recovered clock signals to generate the second correction code. The second duty cycle detector detects a duty of second propagation clock signal to generate a second sub-correction code of the first correction code.

    Abstract: An output buffer circuit may include a pulse generator, a transmitter, and an emphasis controller. The pulse generator generates a pulse signal for determining an emphasis execution period. The transmitter may receive an input data and to have a first output resistance value, which is determined by the input data and a resistance calibration code, and to have a second output resistance value different from the first output resistance value, which is determined by the input data and an emphasis code different from the resistance calibration code for executing an emphasis operation during the emphasis execution period, based on the pulse signal. The emphasis controller provides the resistance calibration code or the emphasis code to the transmitter based on the pulse signal. The emphasis code may include a first code determined by the input data regardless of the resistance calibration code.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a main driver and a pre-driver. The main driver provides an output signal to a host based on a plurality of driving signals. The pre-driver provides the main driver with the plurality of driving signals in order to calibrate a slew rate of the output signal based on an output resistance value of the main driver and a resistance value of an on-die termination circuit of the host. The pre-driver is configured to generate a first driving signal of the plurality of driving signals in response to an input signal regardless of a control signal, and to generate a second driving signal of the plurality of driving signals in response to the input signal and the control signal.
