摘要:
An input/output circuit inputs/outputs serial data. A register section comprises a first and a second register. The first register converts the serial data into parallel data. The second register converts parallel data into serial data. A first control signals supply a conversion timing for each bit when the serial data are converted into the parallel data. A second control signals supply a conversion timing for each bit when the parallel data are converted into the serial data. The signal generating circuit controls a timing of rise or fall of the first control signals and sets which of the memory cells should store a value for each bit, of the serial data, and controls a timing of rise or fall of the second control signals and sets which number of value of the serial data should be the value for each bit, of the parallel data read from the memory cells.

A semiconductor memory device is provided which ensures the symmetry of memory data transmission time and a high-speed operation and has large write/read operation margin with no need of increasing the chip area. By placing a horizontally long peripheral circuit section in the middle in the vertical direction of a semiconductor chip, placing a vertically long shift register section above and below and perpendicularly to the peripheral circuit section, and making the memory core and shift register arrangement symmetrical in the horizontal direction, the data/signal lines between the memory core and the shift register section can be made short and the symmetry of the interconnections can be maintained, which allows the implementation of a high-speed and large-margin semiconductor memory device. In addition, a faster semiconductor memory can be obtained by forming the shift register section by stacking shift registers each corresponding to a data block and selecting the order in which the shift registers are stacked so that the length of interconnections between the peripheral circuit and the shift register is minimized.

A semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell array, a first latch circuit group, and a second latch circuit group. The first latch circuit group sequentially outputs n/2 bit read data of n-bit read data from the memory cell array in response to sequentially shifted read control signals. The second latch circuit group sequentially outputs the remaining n/2 bit read data in response to the sequentially shifted read control signal.
