ABSTRACT:
Replica output buffers, having the same input/output characteristic as that of an output buffer, respond to the rise of a TEST signal generated by a test pulse generating circuit and causes an output signal to rise at a through rate according to voltage of an SL_SET signal, and causes an output signal to fall at a through rate according to voltage of a CNT signal. A phase comparing circuit makes a comparison between phases of the signals output from the replica output buffers, and outputs an UP signal or Down signal with a length corresponding to a phase difference to a delay control circuit. The delay control circuit changes the voltage of the CNT signal according to the UP signal and the DOWN signal, and adjusts a through rate at which a signal output from the output buffer falls.
