The semiconductor device according to an exemplary embodiment includes: a driver configured to output first and second signals complementary to each other through first and second nodes, respectively; and a receiver detector configured to detect whether a reception circuit of an active state is connected to the first node and the second node according to a voltage of the first node and a voltage of the second node. The receiver detector is configured to compare the voltage of the first node with a first reference voltage, compare the voltage of the second node with a second reference voltage, and detect whether the reception circuit of the active state is connected according to a comparison result of the voltage of the first node and a comparison result of the voltage of the second node.

A transmitter includes a resistor, a protection unit, and a transmission unit. The resistor control unit controls a connection of a termination resistor between first and second transmission lines. The protection unit reduces first and second voltages, respectively, from the first and second transmission lines during a power-down mode. The transmission unit receives the dropped first and second voltages during the power-down mode and transmits first and second signals through the protection unit during a power-on mode. The resistor control unit connects the termination resistor to the first and second transmission lines when a transmission rate of the first and second signals is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The resistor control unit is disconnected from at least one of the first and second transmission lines when the transmission rate is less than the predetermined value.
