Abstract

The present invention provides a calibration circuit for data paths DQ0 . . . DQN of a memory device by using a masking data path and an output buffer circuit provided therein in the calibration process. Calibration of the masking data path output buffer circuit is achieved and the calibrate results are transferred to each of the buffer amplifiers in the data paths DQ0 . . . DQN.
