Abstract:
A ZQ calibration circuit performs a ZQ calibration additionally in an initial operation of a semiconductor memory device. The ZQ calibration controller of the ZQ calibration circuit includes a first signal generator, a second signal generator, and a control unit. The first signal generator generates a pre-calibration signal during an initialization of the semiconductor memory device. The second signal generator generates ZQ calibration signals in response to a ZQ calibration command. The control unit outputs signals to control a ZQ calibration in response to the pre-calibration signal and the ZQ calibration signals.
