Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a clock input circuit that receives an external clock signal, a PLL circuit for input timing control that performs phase adjustment between the external clock signal and a delayed clock signal to generate an internal clock signal used to acquire input data, and a delay circuit that delays the internal clock signal to output the internal clock signal that is delayed to a PLL circuit for input timing control as a delayed clock signal. The semiconductor device further includes a PLL circuit for output timing control that performs phase adjustment between the external clock signal and a delayed clock signal to generate an internal clock signal used to output output data, and a delay circuit that delays the internal clock signal to output the internal clock signal that is delayed to the PLL circuit for output timing control as a delayed clock signal.
