Abstract

A static memory which can operate with a small power consumption and produces at an output terminal the same data that is written into a selected memory cell, is disclosed. The memory comprises a memory array, a sense amplifier, a latch circuit for holding data from the sense amplifier and a data-in buffer for generating a buffered input signal, and is featured by a circuit for directly writing the buffered input signal to the latch circuit in a write mode.
