  • Patent number: 10678725
    Abstract: A semiconductor apparatus may include an interface circuit. The interface circuit may sense level variations of a first signal and a second signal. The interface circuit may generate first and second output signals by variably delaying the first and second signals depending on a sensing result. The interface circuit may transmit the first and second output signals to first and second signal transmission lines which are adjacent to each other.

  • Patent number: 9817425
    Abstract: A semiconductor system may include a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device may output a training entry signal and a transmission signal. The second semiconductor device may generate selection codes and a control signal in response to the training entry signal. The second semiconductor device may adjust a level of a reference voltage signal for buffering the transmission signal in response to the selection codes and control a capacitance of an internal node. The reference voltage signal may be outputted from the internal node in response to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20170033780
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a comparator and a pad. The comparator may compare a voltage level of a reference node with a voltage level of a reference voltage to generate a code. The comparator may include an output driver modeling unit configured to adjust a current flowing to the reference node depending on a code value of the code to the reference node. The pad may be coupled to the reference node. A total impedance of the reference node, the output driver modeling unit, and components and signal lines coupled therebetween may correspond to a total impedance of the reference node, the pad, and components and signal lines coupled therebetween.
