Abstract

In a memory device according to the present invention, an address for writing input data into a memory (306) is designated by a first address counter (303) which operates in response to a first clock, an address for reading written data from the memory (306) is designated by a second address counter which operates in response to a second clock, and a phase difference between the outputs of the individual address counter means (303, 313) is detected by a phase comparing section (307). A timing generating section (114-116) delays a signal acquired from the first or second clock to generate three or more timings, a time difference between any two of the timings being a any non-integer multiple of the first or second clock cycle. Further, a phase comparison discriminating section (120-122, 126) latches the output of the phase comparing section (307) at three or more timings, and outputs a signal for controlling a second address counter section (313) by majority decision on the latching result.
