Abstract

A memory device includes a delay locked loop (DLL), a clock compensating circuit, and a data input/output (I/O) circuit. The DLL outputs a first clock signal and a second clock signal. The clock compensating circuit adjusts a voltage level of an output node and generates an inner clock signal based on the voltage level of the output node. The data I/O circuit outputs data to an outside based on the inner clock signal. The clock compensating circuit includes first and second pulse adjusting circuits. The first pulse adjusting circuit connected to a first output node and outputs a first adjusting current based on the first clock signal and a voltage level of the first output node. The second pulse adjusting circuit connected to a second output node and outputs a second adjusting current based on the second clock signal and a voltage level of the second output node.
