Semiconductor device having auto clock alignment training mode circuit

Abstract

A semiconductor device for applying an auto clock alignment training mode to reduce the time required for a clock alignment training operation. The semiconductor device adjusts the entry time of the auto clock alignment training mode to prevent the clock alignment training operation from malfunctioning. The semiconductor device includes a clock division block configured to divide a data clock to generate a data division clock, a phase multiplex block configured to generate a plurality of multiple data division clocks in response to the data division clock, a logic level control block configured to set a period, in which a division control signal is changeable, depending on the data division clock, and a first phase detection block configured to detect a phase of a system clock on the basis of the multiple data division clocks in the period, and to generate the division control signal corresponding to a detection result.
