1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
an input/output interface circuit including:
a first data input/output pin;
a plurality of second data input/output pins;
a write clock signal pin configured to receive a write clock signal from a memory controller; and
a sampling circuit configured to generate sampling values by sampling a write training pattern included in write training data for write training using sampling write clock signals that correspond to last M toggling edges of the write clock signal toggling N times, and generate result values of the write training, where N is a natural number greater than M,
wherein the first data input/output pin is configured to receive the write training data from the memory controller during a write training operation, and
wherein the plurality of second data input/output pins are configured to output feed the result values of the write training generated based on the write clock signal and the write training data, to the memory controller.
