Abstract

A memory device includes an internal clock generator, a deserializer, a data comparator, and a clock controller. The internal clock generator generates a plurality of internal clock signals, which have different phases from each other, by dividing a clock signal received from a host. The deserializer deserializes serial test data received from a host as pieces of internal data using the internal clock signals. The data comparator compares reference data with the internal data. The clock controller corrects a clock dividing start time point of the clock signal of the internal clock generator based on the result of the comparison of the reference data and the internal data.
