Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method for operating the semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes a calibration device, an adjustment device and a driver. The calibration device is configured to continuously generate a first signal including a first number of bits. The adjustment device is configured to continuously receive the first signal and generate a second signal according to the last two bits of the first signal The second signal includes a second number of bits, and the second number is different from the first number. The driver is electrically coupled to the adjustment device, wherein an output resistance of the driver is controllable in response to the second signal.
