Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a ZQ calibration unit configured to generate an output high level voltage (VOH) code according to a VOH control code obtained from a result of comparing a reference voltage with a first VOH; and an output driver configured to generate a data signal having a second VOH determined by the VOH code. The VOH control code includes a pull-up VOH control code and a pull-down VOH control code and the VOH code includes a pull-up VOH code and a pull-down VOH code.
