A voltage generation circuit includes a voltage generation unit configured to generate a reference voltage using a power supply voltage and output the reference voltage through a voltage output node. The voltage generation circuit also includes a pre-charge unit configured to drive the voltage output node using the power supply voltage in response to a pre-charge control signal. The voltage generation circuit further includes a pre-charge control unit configured to generate at least one sampling voltage using the power supply voltage and generate the pre-charge control signal according to a result obtained by comparing the at least one sampling voltage with the reference voltage.

A calibration device is coupled to a communication line shared by plural devices. The calibration device is configured to perform an iterative eye width scanning by adjusting a set voltage level by a preset level from a first voltage level to a reference center voltage level, wherein the first voltage level corresponds to a cross point where values of signals or data, which are transmitted via the communication lines, are changed in different directions; and determine, as a zero crossing for the signals or the data, a voltage level corresponding to a largest value among a plurality of eye widths obtained through the iterative eye width scanning.

A duty cycle correction device includes a duty cycle correction circuit and a duty cycle control circuit. The duty cycle correction circuit corrects a duty cycle of an input dock signal based on a duty cycle control signal and a duty cycle resolution control signal to generate an output dock signal. The duty cycle control circuit generates the duty cycle control signal by detecting a duty cycle of the output clock signal, generates a duty cycle correction completion signal when duty cycle correction is completed, and recorrects the duty cycle of the input clock signal by activating the duty cycle resolution control signal when the duty cycle correction completion signal is activated at an earlier timing than a reference time.
