Abstract

A semiconductor storage device and control method are provided. The semiconductor storage device includes a storage unit including a plurality of storage elements specified by addresses and divided into a plurality of blocks each corresponding to a plurality of the addresses, a write address decoding circuit that decodes a write address specifying a block to write data, a write buffer provided in a write signal path to input write data including write address to the block specified by the write address and a write buffer control unit that disables a write buffer provided in the write signal path for inputting the write data to blocks other than a block including a write address decoded by the write address decoding circuit.
