    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and circuits for managing read timing in semiconductor devices are provided. In one aspect, a semiconductor device includes: a memory array configured to store data and a circuitry coupled to the memory array and configured to read stored data from the memory array. The circuitry is configured to: obtain a starting address of target data to be read based on a read instruction, determine that the starting address is in a first address group of a plurality of address groups, each of the plurality of address groups being associated with a respective reading speed, and read out the target data from the memory array based on the starting address being in the first address group.

    Abstract: A data receiving stage circuit of a memory circuit receives a serial input signal and a chip enable signal. A data writing circuit of the memory circuit generates at least one of a command signal and a data signal according to the serial input signal. A power supply circuit of the memory circuit generates an operating voltage for a memory cell array to perform a data access operation. A data output stage circuit of the memory circuit outputs a readout data. A controller of the memory circuit performs a switching operation of an operating state of the memory circuit according to a change of the chip enable signal. The controller determines a disable or enable state of the data receiving stage circuit, the data writing circuit, the power supply circuit, and the data output stage circuit according to the operating state.
