Abstract
A repeater of a global input/output line includes a data transmitter including first and second drivers for outputting data signals of the global input/output line through different transmission routes in response to a transmission direction control signal, and a third driver for driving the global input/output line in response to an output signal of the data transmitter.
Claims18
A repeater of a global input/output line, the repeater comprising:
- a data transmitter including first and second drivers configured to output data signals of the global input/output line through different transmission routes in response to a transmission direction control signal;
- and
- a data output unit including a third driver configured to drive the global input/output line in response to an output signal of the data transmitter.
A repeater of a global input/output line, the repeater comprising:
- a first data transmitter including first and second drivers configured to output data signals of the global input/output line through different transmission routes in a first signal direction in response to a transmission direction control signal;
- a first data output unit including a third driver configured to drive the global input/output line in response to an output signal of the first data transmitter;
- a second data transmitter including fourth and fifth drivers for outputting data signals of the global input/output line through different transmission routes in a second signal direction in response to the transmission direction control signal;
- and
- a second data output unit including a sixth driver configured to drive the global input/output line in response to an output signal of the second data transmitter,
- wherein the first data transmitter and the third driver or the second data transmitter and the sixth driver are enabled according to the transmission direction control signal to allow the global input/output line to transmit data signals in bi-direction.
