Abstract
A semiconductor device may include an amplification circuit. The amplification circuit may be configured to generate an output signal and an output bar signal based on a mode signal, first and second control signals, an input signal, and an input bar signal. The amplification circuit may determine voltage levels of the output signal and the output bar signal based on the mode signal and the first and second control signals regardless of the input signal and the input bar signal.
