ABSTRACT:
A data alignment circuit of a semiconductor memory apparatus includes: a data strobe clock phase control block configured to control a phase of a data strobe clock signal in response to a strobe delay code and generate a delayed strobe clock signal; a plurality of data phase control blocks configured to control phases of input data in response to data delay codes and generate delayed data; a plurality of data alignment blocks configured to latch the delayed data in response to the delayed strobe clock signal and generate latched data and aligned data; and a delay code generation block configured to perform an operation of determining phases of the latched data and generate the strobe delay code and the data delay codes.
