Abstract
Apparatuses for providing pads included in external terminals of a semiconductor device are described. An example apparatus includes a memory cell array, a data queue (DQ) circuit, a data pad and a power pad. The memory cell array may include one or more memory cells. In a write operation, the data pad receives write data and provides the write data to the DQ circuit. The DQ circuit receives the write data and provides the write data to the memory cell array. In a read operation, the DQ circuit receives read data from the memory cell array and provides the read data. The data pad receives the read data from the DQ circuit and provides the read data. The power pad provides a power supply voltage. The data pad and the power pad are disposed across from each other with respect to the DQ circuit.
