Abstract

An upper column address strobe signal and a lower column address strobe signal applied to a dynamic RAM are 180.degree. out of phase from each other. Data of n bits are read out from a memory cell array at a time. The data read out from memory cell array is divided into two bit groups and applied to an upper IO buffer and a lower IO buffer. Upper IO buffer and lower IO buffer latch sequentially the upper bit group and the lower bit group and output these groups to a data transmission bus in response to the upper column address strobe signal and the lower column address strobe signal.
