Abstract
A semiconductor memory system includes a semiconductor memory chip in which data, command, and address signals are transmitted serially between a memory controller and the semiconductor memory chip in signal frames in correspondence with a predetermined protocol. In a receive signal path within the semiconductor memory chip, a frame decoder for decoding the signal frames is arranged following a receiving interface device, and between the frame decoder and a memory core, an intermediate storage device is arranged which has a cell array including a multiplicity of memory cells, and an addressing and selector circuit to which address signals decoded by the frame decoder from command and/or write signal frames supplied by the memory controller are applied, for addressing the cell array and for selecting the write data to be written into the cell array and to be read out of the cell array.
