Abstract
Provided is a calibration circuit and operating method of the calibration circuit. A calibration circuit includes a first resistor code output circuit and a second resistor code output circuit. The first resistor code output circuit is coupled to an external resistor through an input/output pad, performs a first calibration operation, based on a first resistor value, such that a target voltage applied to a first reference node coupled to the input/output pad has a set voltage level, and outputs a first resistor code as a result obtained by performing the first calibration operation. The second resistor code output circuit receives the target voltage, sets an internal resistor value, based on the first resistor code, performs a second calibration operation, based on a second resistor value different from the first resistor value, and outputs a second resistor code as a result obtained by performing the second calibration operation. The first resistor value is a resistor value of the first resistor.
