Semiconductor apparatus and method

A semiconductor apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of bank groups configured to generate a plurality of data strobe signals upon activation of a plurality of bank group column control signals and configured to output the plurality of data strobe signals and a plurality of bank group data;
• a plurality of transmission circuits configured to output the plurality of bank group data transmitted through a plurality of bank group global signal line sets on a peripheral circuit global signal line set at an activation time of a transmission reference signal when a signal received from the plurality of data strobe signals is activated;
• a command decoding and signal generation circuit configured to decode a command and address signal and configured to generate a column control signal when a decoding result is identified as a read command;
• and
• a delay circuit configured to output a signal obtained by delaying the column control signal by a predetermined time as the transmission reference signal.

A method comprising:

• receiving first bank group data through a first bank group global signal line set of a plurality of bank group global signal line sets;
• outputting the first bank group data on a peripheral circuit global signal line set in accordance with a transmission reference signal when a first data strobe signal is activated;
• receiving second bank group data through a second bank group global signal line set of the plurality of bank group global signal line sets;
• and
• outputting the second bank group data on the peripheral circuit global signal line set in accordance with the transmission reference signal when a second data strobe signal is activated.
