Abstract
A memory includes a buffer which retains data, a band conversion unit converts a band of an internal data bus that is used for data transfer between the band conversion unit and the buffer which retains data into a band wider than that of an external data bus that is used for data transfer between the band conversion unit and a memory controller, and an access control unit controls access to a memory cell using the buffer, during a wait time occurring in the internal data bus due to a difference between the band of the internal data bus and the band of the external data bus.
