Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a write path coupled to a pad, a read path coupled to the pad, and a reference voltage output control block configured to apply a reference voltage to the pad through the write path in response to a reference voltage monitoring signal. The read path is electrically isolated from the pad in response to the reference voltage monitoring signal.
