A computer includes a storage device having a plurality of memory cells, being operable to output data stored in the memory cell corresponding to an address signal, and being operable to output a data output fixing signal attaining a predetermined level in response to output of the data, and a processing device operable to apply the address signal to the storage device, take in the data from the storage device in response to the fact that the data output fixing signal attains the predetermined level, and perform processing in accordance with the data. The storage device and the processing device may be formed on a single chip. The processing device can take in and process the data whenever the data output fixing signal is output. When the storage device operates under conditions better than the worst conditions, data processing can be performed before elapse of a maximum access time determined in a specification prescribed taking the worst conditions into consideration.
