Abstract
An apparatus for controlling on-die termination of a semiconductor memory includes a detector that generates an ODT control signal for inactivating an on-die termination operation in one of a data read period and a data write period in response to a command signal for testing the on-die termination operation, and a controller that inactivates the on-die termination operation in response to the ODT control signal.
