A serial access memory includes a data transfer unit including a memory cell array having a plurality of memory cells arranged therein for storing data therein, a first transfer register electrically connected to the memory cell array through a first switching circuit and a second transfer register electrically connected to the first transfer register through a second switching circuit. The data transfer unit is provided so that when each of the first and second switching circuits is in an ON state, data passes through the first transfer register so as to be transferred from the memory cell array to the second transfer register and when the first switching circuit is in an ON state and the second switching circuit is in an OFF state, data is transferred from the memory cell array to the first transfer register.
