Serial write data of the burst length transmitted to a data bus are stored in parallel in latch circuits by a S/P data conversion circuit. In a memory cell array, one row of memory cells and four columns of memory cells are rendered active at the same time. Respective bit lines and latch circuits are connected by a sense amplifier I/O circuit. The write data of the burst length are written into the memory cell array at one time. The data of the bit length read out at one time from the memory cell array are converted into serial data by a P/S data conversion circuit to be transmitted to the data bus.
