A non-volatile memory device includes a serial pipeline structure connected to an output stage of a First In, First Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO memory is configured to store data transmitted through a data path having a wave pipeline structure based on a plurality of FIFO input clock signals and output the stored data based on a plurality of FIFO output clock signals. A serializer is configured to output data to an input/output pad based on a select clock signal. The serial pipeline structure is connected between the FIFO memory and the serializer and configured to compensate for a phase difference between the data output from the FIFO memory and the select clock signal.

Non-volatile memory device and storage device including the same

A nonvolatile memory device includes a data path; and a FIFO memory including a plurality of registers connected to the data path. The plurality of registers sequentially receive data from the data path in response to data path input clocks and sequentially output the received data to an input/output pad in response to data path output clocks. The data path output clocks are clocks that are generated by delaying the data path input clocks as long as a delay time.

Nonvolatile memory device and storage device having the same

A semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell configured to output data to a pair of bitlines, a variable delay circuit configured to receive a sense amplifier enable signal, adjust a delay of the sense amplifier enable signal by changing a slope of a delay based on a variable external power supply voltage, and output a delayed sense amplifier enable signal, and a bitline sense amplifier configured to amplify a voltage difference between the pair of bitlines in response to the delayed sense amplifier enable signal and output the amplified voltage difference to a pair of input/output lines.

Semiconductor memory device comprising variable delay circuit

A semiconductor memory device and a layout structure of sub-word line control signal generators. The sub-word line control signal generators are configured to supply a sub-word line control signal of a predefined voltage level to a sub-word line driver to enable a sub-word line of a memory cell array. At least two sub-word line control signal generators are disposed, respectively, at edge areas of the memory cell array, to directly supply the sub-word line control signal to one selected sub-word line driver, thereby reducing the power consumption, including for example, VPP voltage. Embodiments of the present invention also reduce the number of VPP power lines, thereby lessening a noise disturbance.
