Abstract: In a multi-port memory, a first pulse signal generator circuit generates a first pulse signal following input of a clock signal. A first latch circuit sets a first start signal to a first state in response to generation of the first pulse signal, and resets the first start signal to a second state in response to a first delayed signal obtained by delaying the first start signal by a delay circuit. A second pulse signal generator circuit generates a second pulse signal following input of the first delayed signal. A first latch circuit sets a second start signal to the first state and holds this state in response to generation of the second pulse signal, and resets the second start signal to the second state in response to a second delayed signal obtained by delaying the second start signal by the delay circuit. The memory operates based on start signals.
