Abstract
A read enable signal OEMF activated in response to an input command is applied to an N minus 2 clock shift circuit included in an output control circuit for implementation of ZCAS latency. An output signal of the N minus 2 clock shift circuit and an internal mask instructing signal activated in response to an external mask instructing signal are logically processed and applied to a one-clock shift circuit. According to an output signal OEMQM of one-clock shift circuit, a data output enable signal OEM controlling activation/inactivation of an output buffer circuit is activated/inactivated. Data output controlling portion occupying area of a synchronous dynamic random access memory is reduced and timings of activation/inactivation of data output by different commands are made the same.
