1. A semiconductor system comprising:
a controller configured to output a command address, a first chip selection signal, and a second chip selection signal; and
a semiconductor device, including a first rank and a second rank, configured to receive the command address, the first chip selection signal, and the second chip selection signal and configured to calibrate a termination resistance value of the first rank based on the command address and the first chip selection signal and to calibrate a termination resistance value of the second rank based on the command address and the second chip selection signal;
wherein the first rank calibrates the termination resistance value of the first rank to a first resistance value based on the command address and the first chip selection signal when a write operation is performed on the first rank;
wherein the first rank calibrates the termination resistance value of the first rank to a second resistance value based on the second chip selection signal when a write operation is performed on the second rank;
wherein the first resistance value is different from the second resistance value; and
wherein a termination resistance value corresponds to a value that impedance matches a receiving end for data during the write operation.
