Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an internal voltage input buffer configured to determine voltage levels of a pull-up driving node and a pull-down driving node as a result of a comparison between a voltage level of an internal voltage node and a voltage level of a reference voltage node such that the pull-up driving node and the pull-down driving node to maintain a voltage level difference, and an internal voltage driving block configured to pull-up drive the internal voltage node in response to the voltage level of the pull-up driving node and pull-down drive the internal voltage node in response to the voltage level of the pull-down driving node.
