Abstract: Disclosed is a memory device which includes a pull-up driver that is connected between a power supply voltage and a first node, a T-coil circuit that is connected between the first node and a second node, an external resistor, and a ZQ controller that performs a ZQ calibration operation on the pull-up driver. The ZQ controller includes a path selecting circuit that selects one node among the first node and the second node, a comparing circuit that compares a voltage of the one node selected by the path selecting circuit with a pull-up reference voltage and outputs a comparison result, and a code generating circuit that generates a pull-up code for driving the pull-up driver, based on the comparison result. While the pull-up code is generated, the external resistor is connected between the second node and a ground voltage.
