2. Related Art
Fast semiconductor systems with high integration density are increasingly in demand. Semiconductor devices sometimes operate synchronously with external clock signals to improve the operation speed thereof. Synchronous semiconductor devices, for example, double data rate (DDR) devices, may successively receive or output a couple data units of through each data input/output (I/O) pin. The data may be output each cycle of the external clock signal synchronized with every rising edge and every falling edge of the external clock signal.
Semiconductor systems may execute a read training operation for removing a skew between a data signal and a clock signal. The read training operation may be executed using a test that removes the skew between the data signal and the clock signal. The skew may be removed by controlling an input/output (I/O) timing of data according to a characteristic of a channel through which data is inputted or outputted.
Semiconductor systems may be placed in a separate test mode aside from the normal test mode, when executing the read training operation. In such a case, however, time for executing a read operation and a write operation corresponding to inherent operations of the semiconductor systems may be reduced to lower an efficiency of the semiconductor systems.

The memory cell array 23 may output the data stored in memory cells thereof as the first to eighth output data DQ<1:8> when the second internal command signal RD is inputted thereto.
An operation of the semiconductor system set forth above will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 8 in conjunction with an example where the first to eighth output data DQ<1:8> are delayed for the second delay time during a read operation. That is, in this example scenario the input calibration signal CAL_IN is delayed for the second delay time to control a recognition point of the first to eighth output data DQ<1:8>.
At time “T1”, the internal read signal generator 131 may generate the internal read signal IRD which may be enabled after a predetermined time from the start of a read operation.
At time “T2”, the delay unit 132 may delay the internal read signal IRD to generate the first monitoring signal M<1>. The transmission signal generator 141 may output the internal calibration signal ICAL as the first transmission signal TS<1> when a level of the first monitoring signal M<1> changes from a logic “low” level to a logic “high” level. As a result, the first transmission signal TS<1> may be generated to have a logic “low” level at time “T2”.
At time “T3”, the data input unit 15 may receive the output calibration signal CAL_OUT to generate the internal calibration signal ICAL having a logic “high” level. The data input unit 15 may also receive the first to eighth output data DQ<1:8> to generate the first to eighth input data DIN<1:8>. The delay unit 132 may delay the first monitoring signal M<1> to generate the second monitoring signal M<2>. The transmission signal generator 141 may output the internal calibration signal ICAL as the second transmission signal TS<2> when a level of the second monitoring signal M<2> changes from a logic “low” level to a logic “high” level. As a result, the second transmission signal TS<2> may be generated to have a logic “high” level at time “T3”.
At time “T4”, the delay unit 132 may delay the second monitoring signal M<2> to generate the third monitoring signal M<3>. The transmission signal generator 141 may output the internal calibration signal ICAL as the third transmission signal TS<3> when a level of the third monitoring signal M<3> changes from a logic “low” level to a logic “high” level. As a result, the third transmission signal TS<3> may be generated to have a logic “high” level at time “T4”. Because the first transmission signal TS<1> has a logic “low” level and the second and third transmission signals TS<2:3> have a logic “high” level, the selection signal generator 142 may generate the first to fourth selection signals SEL<1:4> such that only the second selection signal SEL<2> is enabled to have a logic “high” level. In response to the second selection signal SEL<2> having a logic “high” level, the delay controller 143 may delay the strobe signal STR for the second delay time TD2 to generate the input strobe signal IN_STR.
The data input unit 15 may receive first to eighth output data DQ<1:8> to generate the first to eighth input data DIN<1:8> and to generate the first to eighth internal data ID<1:8> synchronized with the input strobe signal IN_STR delayed for the second delay time TD2. That is, the data input unit 15 may generate the first to eighth internal data ID<1:8> synchronized with the input strobe signal IN_STR after levels of the first to eighth input data DIN<1:8> are stabilized.
The semiconductor system having the aforementioned configuration output calibration signal CAL_OUT during the read operation and may control a recognition point of the output data DQ<1:8> in connection with the delay time of the output calibration signal CAL_OUT. Thus, an operation efficiency of the semiconductor system may be enhanced without use of a separate test mode.
