Abstract
A static random access memory device used in a system having a data clock includes a recirculating counter producing a pair of clocking signals and n data latches each connected to a source of data chunks. Logic receiving a strobe signal, inverse strobe signal, and the clocking signals, successively latches serial data chunks into n data latches, respectively, such that a data chunk is latched one per each cycle of the data clock and so that every n data chunks form a group of parallel data. A delay circuit delaying certain ones of the data chunks latched into the input data latches long enough to permit all data chunks in a group to be transferred in parallel to further memory circuit, wherein the parallel transfer takes place once every n cycles of the data clock.
