Abstract
An on-die termination (ODT) circuit includes a calibration unit, an offset-code generating unit, an adder, and an ODT unit. The calibration unit generates a pull-up code and a pull-down code. The offset-code generates a pull-up offset code and a pull-down offset code based on a mode-register-set signal, the pull-up code, and the pull-down code. The adder adds the pull-up offset code and the pull-down offset code to the pull-up code and the pull-down code, respectively, and generates a pull-up calibration code and a pull-down calibration code. The ODT unit changes ODT resistance in response to the pull-up calibration code and the pull-down calibration code.
