Abstract
An input buffer includes a control circuit that generates first control signals depending on a signal type of at least one input signal. The input buffer also includes a receiver that generates at least one output signal of a predetermined signal type from the at least one input signal and the first control signals. Thus, for a semiconductor device using a plurality of such input buffers, interface circuits of application circuits communicating with the semiconductor device are eliminated, thereby minimizing power consumption and layout area.
