PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a calibration circuit which is capable of carrying out sufficient calibration operation even in the case where the frequency of an external clock is high. SOLUTION: The calibration circuit comprises: a first replica buffer 110 including the substantially same circuit configuration as a pull-up circuit constituting an output buffer; and a second replica buffer 130 including the substantially same circuit configuration as a pull-down circuit constituting the output buffer. When a first calibration command ZQCS is issued, both of control signals ACT1, ACT2 are activated to simultaneously perform calibration operations on the first and second replica buffers 110, 130. When a second calibration command ZQCL is issued, the control signals ACT1, ACT2 are alternately activated to alternately perform calibration operations on the first and second replica buffers 110, 130.
