Abstract
An input interface circuit according to the present invention includes an input first stage circuit that is connected to a signal terminal, where the signal terminal receives external data, and a phase adjustment circuit that adjusts an external input clock and a latch timing signal to be in phase, where the latch timing signal is output to latch circuits included in the input first stage circuit. The phase adjustment circuit adjusts delay time of the latch timing signal that passes through the clock tree circuit and is supplied to the latch circuit in response to a comparison result between the clock and an output from a replica delay circuit which is replicated from the clock.
