Abstract

A data output circuit for a semiconductor memory device includes a first driver configured to output a first drive control signal in response to a data signal, a drive controller configured to compare a voltage level of the first drive control signal with a reference voltage and output a second drive control signal, and a second driver configured to drive an output terminal in response to the first drive control signal and additionally drive the output terminal in response to the second drive control signal.
