  • Patent number: 9628060
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include: a variable delay circuit configured to delay a data strobe signal according to a delay control signal and output a delayed data strobe signal; a data sampler configured to compare a level of a reference voltage and a value of a data signal in synchronization with the delayed data strobe signal, and determine a logic level of the value of the data signal, the data signal having a training pattern; and a control circuit configured to determine a delay amount of the data strobe signal and generate the delay control signal and the reference voltage according to an output signal of the data sampler.

  • Patent number: 9219628
    Abstract: An equalizer includes a sampler configured to sample an edge and data of an input signal or an induced signal obtained from the input signal, a clock generator configured to generate an edge clock used to decide sampling timing of the edge and a data clock used to decide sampling timing of the data based on the sampled edge and the sampled data, and a controller configured to control the sampling timing of the edge and the sampling timing of the data based on the sampled edge and the sampled data.
