Abstract
Provided are a ZQ calibration circuit and a ZQ calibration method. The ZQ calibration circuit includes: a first calibration circuit; and a second calibration circuit sharing a first ZQ voltage with the first calibration circuit, wherein the first ZQ voltage is generated from a ZQ pad connected to an external resistor. The first calibration circuit includes: a first comparator; a second comparator; a first pull-up counter; a first pull-up driver; and a first switch electrically interconnecting the first pull-up counter. The second calibration circuit includes: a third comparator; a fourth comparator; a second pull-up counter; a second pull-up driver; and a second switch connected to the second pull-up counter and turned on based on a second logic level of the clock signal to electrically interconnect the second pull-up counter and the second pull-up driver.
