16. A memory card comprising:
a pad;
a drive circuit activating the pad in accordance with an input signal; and
a controller regulating a drive point and a drive voltage level of an output signal of the drive circuit in accordance with a voltage level of the output signal,
wherein the controller comprises:
a delay circuit delaying a first clock signal provided from an external source and generating a second clock signal from the first clock signal;
a detection circuit capturing a voltage level of the output signal of the drive circuit as a first detection voltage in sync with the first clock signal and capturing a voltage level of the output signal of the drive circuit as a second detection voltage in sync with the second clock signal; and
a drive control circuit regulating the drive point and voltage level of the output signal of the drive circuit in response to the first and second detection voltages.
