Abstract

An impedance adjusting circuit and an impedance adjusting method for zero quotient (ZQ) calibration. The impedance adjusting circuit includes a reference resistor, a pull-up impedance generator, a controller and a detection circuit. The reference resistor is coupled between a sensing node and a low reference voltage. The pull-up impedance generator is coupled to an external voltage. The controller connects the pull-up impedance generator to the sensing node and compares a reference voltage and a sensing voltage on the sensing node to generate the calibration signal in a ZQ calibrating operation. When the sensing voltage is out of a specification range in the ZQ calibrating operation, the detection circuit notifies the controller to perform a compensation operation on the pull-up impedance generator, and modify the calibration signal to an adjusted calibration signal.
