Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes a first rank and a second rank. The first rank operates in synchronization with a clock signal in response to a first rank selection signal, and the second rank operates in synchronization with the clock signal in response to a second rank selection signal. The first rank performs a termination operation without performing an internal control operation if the first rank selection signal maintains an enabled state in synchronization with a first edge and a second edge of the clock signal.
