Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes: a pre-emphasis control signal generation block suitable for generating first and second pre-emphasis control signals for controlling a pre-emphasis operation; at least one first output driver suitable for being selectively enabled in response to a selection code signal and driving a pad in response to a first output signal; and at least one second output driver suitable for being selectively enabled in response to the selection code signal and the first pre-emphasis control signal, performing the pre-emphasis operation with a driving force corresponding to a calibration code signal, and performing the pre-emphasis operation with a maximum driving force in response to the second pre-emphasis control signal.
