Abstract

A latch circuit includes N data latch circuits to which N-bit parallel data are respectively applied where N is an integer, a data input control circuit setting the data latch circuits to a data input state in order, and a data output control circuit which controls the N data latch circuits to output, at different timings, latched data to M output terminals in the order of latch in the N data latch circuits where N.gtoreq.M.gtoreq.1.
