Abstract
An on-die termination circuit for semiconductor memory apparatus includes an ODT (On Die Termination) input driving unit that divides an input voltage on the basis of a resistance ratio according to a first code Pcode<0:N> having at least two bits and outputs a first line voltage, a first ODT control unit that counts the first code or resets the first code to a first set value according to whether or not the first line voltage and a reference voltage match with each other, an ODT output driving unit that divides an input voltage on the basis of the resistance ratio according to the first code and a resistance ratio according to a second code having at least two bits and outputs a second line voltage, and a second ODT control unit that counts the second code or resets the second code to a second set value according to whether or not the second line voltage and the reference voltage are consistent with each other.
