A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a command decoder for issuing a control command in accordance with a supplied control signal, a DRAM core, and a timing adjusting circuit for supplying the control command, set active for a predetermined period, as a DRAM control signal to the DRAM core. The timing adjusting circuit generates n different clocks that are respectively shifted in phase with respect to a supplied reference clock, and generates the DRAM control signal by setting the control command active in a prescribed operation cycle for only a period starting at a first predetermined clock pulse of a first clock of the n clocks and ending at a second predetermined clock pulse of a second clock of the n clocks. In this way, timing design with relatively high accuracy of adjustment can be done in a short period.
