Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a plurality of memory banks and an output buffer that may couple to the plurality of memory banks. The output buffer may produce a data voltage signal representative of data to be read from at least one of the plurality of memory banks to a controller. The semiconductor device may also include a plurality of switches that may couple a voltage source to the output buffer, a first pull-down switch that may drive the output buffer to a low voltage reference level to correct its drive strength. The device also includes a second pull-down switch that may couple the output buffer to the low voltage reference level. The plurality of switches, the first pull-down switch, and the second pull-down switch may each provide the data voltage signal to the output buffer.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a plurality of memory banks; an output buffer configured to couple to the plurality of memory banks, wherein the output buffer is configured to receive a data voltage signal representative of data to be read from at least one of the plurality of memory banks; a plurality of switches configured to couple a voltage source to the output buffer; a first pull-down switch configured to directly couple the output buffer to a low voltage reference level; and a second pull-down switch configured to couple the output buffer to the low voltage reference level via a resistor, wherein the plurality of switches, the first pull-down switch, and the second pull-down switch are configured to provide the data voltage signal to the output buffer.
