Abstract

A sense amplifier circuit is connected to a bit-line and senses and amplifies a signal read from a memory cell. A first data latch is connected to a sense amplifier via a first bus. A second data latch is connected to a second bus. A plurality of circuit groups are repeatedly provided in a first direction, each circuit group including one sense amplifier circuit and one first data latch. The second data latch is provided between the circuit groups and an input/output buffer.
