Abstract
The semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of data output terminals outputting in parallel data of a plurality of bits, the number of bits being a plurality of times as large as the number of the plurality of data output terminals, an address transition detecting circuit to output a latch control signal, and an output control circuit for performing a switching control on the basis of a switching signal such that the data read in parallel in each read cycle is held by a latch circuit, and the data held by the latch circuit is divided by a plural number and one group of the divided data is outputted to the plurality of data output terminals during the cycle, with the remaining group of divided data being outputted to the plurality of data output terminals during the next read cycle.
