  • Publication number: 20170200485
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a strobe signal buffer, a strobe signal division circuit, and a drive control circuit. The strobe signal buffer may buffer a first data strobe signal and a second data strobe signal to generate a buffer output signal and an inverted buffer output signal. The strobe signal division circuit may divide the buffer output signal and the inverted buffer output signal to generate internal strobe signals which are used in capturing data when receiving data. The drive control circuit may drive the buffer output signal to a predetermined logic level during an initial section of time from a point of time when a write operation is performed.
