Abstract
A semiconductor system includes a controller and a semiconductor device. The controller outputs a clock signal, a chip selection signal and a command/address signal. The controller includes a controller termination circuit turned on during a read operation. The controller receives first data through an input/output (I/O) line coupled to the controller termination circuit during the read operation and outputs second data through the I/O line coupled to the controller termination circuit turned off during a write operation. The semiconductor device includes an internal termination circuit turned off during the read operation, outputs the first data through the I/O line coupled to the internal termination circuit based on the chip selection signal and the command/address signal during the read operation, and stores the second data inputted through the I/O line coupled to the internal termination circuit turned on during the write operation.
