Abstract
A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) includes a data signal input circuit configured to input a data signal in response to a data control signal, and a data strobe signal input circuit configured to input a data strobe signal in response to a data strobe control signal. A control circuit separately generates the data control signal and the data strobe control signal. A data latch circuit latches the data signal from the data signal input circuit in response to the data strobe signal from the data strobe signal input circuit. A memory cell array has a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix. The latched data signal is stored in a selected one of the plurality of memory cells through the data buffer, an amplifier circuit configured to amplify a data signal read out from the selected memory cell; and an output circuit configured to output the amplified data signal.
