Zusammenfassung:IO circuit calibration method and apparatus are provided for calibrating a driving impedance at an output end of an IO circuit in a chip. The chip further includes a plurality of basic impedances and a non-volatile memory. The IO circuit calibration method includes: measuring an impedance value of one basic impedance and recording the measured result in the non-volatile memory; conducting at least one basic impedance to provide a calibration impedance formed by the conducted basic impedance(s); adjusting the number of the conducted basic impedance(s) in the calibration impedance and estimating an impedance value of the driving impedance according to the measured result and a voltage divided by the calibration impedance and the driving impedance at the output end.
