Abstract
The disclosure is of a memory device using an address transition signal and having sense amplifiers, sense amplifier latch circuits, and a data output buffer, including: a circuit for generating a plurality of control signals for the sense amplifiers and latch circuits; and a circuit for inhibiting a generation of a control signal which causes a transfer from the sense amplifier to the data output buffer in the case of an abnormal address transition pulse signal that may be noisy or of a shortened duration. An invalid data transfer through the latch circuit can be prevented from a noise-included address transition signal.
