Abstract
There are provided an output driver for a semiconductor device for securing the constant pull-up and pull-down drivability regardless of temperature condition and process characteristic. The output driver for a semiconductor device includes a first driving unit for transmitting an output data; a detecting unit for detecting at least one of a temperature condition and a process characteristic; an auxiliary pull-up driving unit for pulling up a level of the output data in response to the detection result of the detecting unit; and an auxiliary pull-down driving unit for pulling down the level of the output data in response to the detection result of the detecting unit.
