Abstract: An impedance control circuit includes an impedance detector, an output driver and an impedance controller. The impedance detector generates a first output value to a detection pad connected between an external determination resistor and a pull-up transistor array, and outputs a second output value to a resistance divider terminal commonly connected between a pull-up and pull-down transistor array in response to a pull-up control code data and a pull-down control code data. The output driver has a commonly connected pull-up and pull-down transistor array, and a compensating unit connected to the pull-up and pull-down transistor array of the output driver, to compensate for quantization error of the pull-up and pull-down control code data. The impedance controller performs a comparison and counting operation so that the first and second output values of the impedance detector become approximated to a predetermined reference value, and generates the pull-up and pull-down control code data.
