Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an input/output (I/O) line drive control circuit and a data I/O circuit. The I/O line drive control circuit is configured to generate drive control pulses having a generation sequence, wherein the generation sequence of the drive control pulses are controlled based on a command pulse and address latch signals, and wherein the address latch signals are set based on when the command pulse is generated to perform a read operation or a write operation. The command pulse is generated to perform a read operation or a write operation. The data I/O circuit controls data I/O operations of a plurality of bank groups based on the drive control pulses.
