Abstract
A semiconductor device may include pad blocks configured for receiving and outputting data. The semiconductor device may also include input/output driving blocks configured to transfer data received from global input/output lines to the pad blocks in response to a read operation, and transfer data from the pad blocks to the global input/output lines in response to a write operation. The input/output driving blocks are disposed in a peripheral region and control a width of the data.
