The buffer unit generates a data code of n bits in response to a power supply voltage and a second binary bit signal through an nth binary bit signal except for a first binary bit signal corresponding to a least significant bit of a binary code of n bits.

A logic level of the kth Gray bit signal is determined corresponding to a logic level of the kth data bit signal.
