  • Patent number: 7944772
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a DLL for detecting a phase difference between an external clock signal and a feedback clock signal to generate a delay control signal corresponding to the phase difference, and delaying the external clock signal by a delay amount corresponding to the delay control signal to generate a DLL clock signal; a clock counter reset signal generator for synchronizing an output enable reset signal with the external clock signal, delaying the synchronized signal by a delay amount corresponding to the delay control signal, and latching the delayed signal in response to the DLL clock signal to output a clock counter reset signal; and an output enable signal generator, reset in response to the clock counter reset signal, for counting the external clock signal and the DLL clock signal to generate an output enable signal corresponding to a read command and a CAS latency.

  • Patent number: 7911225
    Abstract: A data output device includes a pre-driver unit configured to control a driving force according to an impedance control signal and to drive output data using the driving force. The data output device includes a main-driver unit configured to control an impedance according to pull-up and pull-down resistance control codes having values that correspond to the impedance control signal provided to the pre-driver unit and to drive an output of the pre-driver unit by utilizing the controlled impedance.
