A memory device capable of performing a read operation includes: a memory array that stores data; and off-chip drivers that supply as an output of the memory device data retrieved from the memory array. At least one of the off-chip drivers includes: an enable circuit that generates an enable signal in response to a read enable signal received by the off-chip driver, wherein the enable circuit controls the timing of the enable signal in accordance with a timing signal supplied to the enable circuit; and a driver circuit that drives the data off the memory device in response to the enable signal.
