Abstract
An address access path control circuit designed for shorter access time and small the layout area with low power consumption and noise. Our control circuit has a latching circuit LMO2A, a main output circuit MO3, and a common-bus driving circuit CBD for holding the level of a pair of common-buses CB/CB.sub.-- at the ground level during a prescribed period of time in which address transition takes place while the read data is output to common-buses CB/CB.sub.-- at a timing corresponding to the address signal. A data output buffer DO-BUF outputs to the outside the data transmitted from common-buses CB/CB.sub.-- to data output lines OD/OD.sub.-- in response to the input of control signal DOE. A control signal DOE is input to data output buffer DO-BUF during the period in which data output lines OD/OD.sub.-- are at the ground level.
