Abstract
A semiconductor device receives a first data mask signal and a second data mask signal. A data mask control unit outputs a data mask control signal by combining a test mode signal with the first data mask signal. A data clock output unit receives a delay locked loop (DLL) clock and outputs a data clock in response to the data mask control signal. A column address enable (YAE) control signal generating unit generates a column address enable control signal to control the enablement of a column address enable signal. The column address enable control signal generating unit generates the column address enable control signal by combining the test mode signal with the second data mask signal.
