Calibration circuit, semiconductor device including the same, and data processing system
Abstract:
A calibration circuit includes: replica buffers; an up-down counter that changes impedance codes of the replica buffers; latch circuits each holding the impedance codes; an end-determining circuit that activates the latch circuits in response to a completion of impedance adjustments of the replica buffers; and a 32 tCK cycle counter that forcibly activates the latch circuits in response to a lapse of a predetermined period since issuance of the calibration command. Thereby, even when the adjustment is not completed during one calibration period, a subsequent calibration operation can be executed from a previous point.
