Abstract
The semiconductor device according to an exemplary embodiment includes: a driver configured to output first and second signals complementary to each other through first and second nodes, respectively; and a receiver detector configured to detect whether a reception circuit of an active state is connected to the first node and the second node according to a voltage of the first node and a voltage of the second node. The receiver detector is configured to compare the voltage of the first node with a first reference voltage, compare the voltage of the second node with a second reference voltage, and detect whether the reception circuit of the active state is connected according to a comparison result of the voltage of the first node and a comparison result of the voltage of the second node.
