  • Publication number: 20110193590
    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device including a first replica buffer connected to a calibration terminal, an impedance adjusting circuit that changes an impedance of the first replica buffer according to a comparison result between a potential of the terminal and a reference potential, and an impedance adjusting circuit that changes an impedance of a third replica buffer according to a comparison result between a potential of a connection node of a second replica buffer and the third replica buffer and a potential of the terminal. According to the present invention, both impedances of the first and third replica buffers are adjusted based on the potential of the terminal, and therefore an adjustment error of one of the replica buffers is not superimposed with an adjustment error of the other replica buffer.
