    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device uses a wave pipeline system which can reduce a power consumption by reducing a current for charging a data bus between a memory core part and an output circuit. A single line data bus transmits read data output from the memory core part. A data bus drive circuit outputs the read read data to send to the single data bus. Each of a plurality of data latch circuits has a data input terminal connected to the data bus. A data input control circuit inputs the read data which is serially transmitted on the data bus to the data latch circuits in parallel in response to an operation of the data bus drive circuit. A data output control circuit outputs the latched read data in an order of latching by sequentially selecting outputs of the data latch circuits.

    Abstract: A semiconductor or memory device has a decoder circuit for decoding a plurality of external address signals. The external address signals include first and second external address signals. A first address buffer receives the first external address signals and outputs first internal address signals to first address lines. A second address buffer receives the second external address signals and outputs second internal address signals to second address lines. First predecoders have input terminals connected to the first address lines, and output first predecode signals to first predecode lines. Second predecoders have input terminals connected to the second address lines and output second predecode signals to second predecode lines. Main decoders have input terminals connected to the first predecode lines and the second predecode lines and output decode signals. The number of the first external address signals are greater than the number of the second external address signals. The second predecoders and the second predecode lines are provided at least in double in such a manner that inputs of the main decoders to be connected to each of the second predecode lines are equal in number to inputs of the main decoders to be connected to each of the first predecode lines. It is possible to shorten the transition time of predecode signals because of the same capacitive load of the predecoder circuit.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a dynamic circuit and a static circuit, wherein a clock signal, in synchronization with the operation of the static circuit, initiates the operation of the dynamic circuit. A delay circuit of a static type is provided to delay the clock signal and generate a delayed clock signal. The delayed clock signal initiates operation of one stage of the dynamic circuit. As a result, the final-operation timing of the dynamic circuit is substantially controlled by the delayed clock signal, thereby matching the operation of the dynamic circuit with the operation of the static circuit, regardless of the power supply voltage.
