Abstract:
Each of the core chips includes a data output circuit that outputs read data to the interface chip in response to a read command, and an output timing adjustment circuit that equalizes the periods of time required between the reception of the read command and the outputting of the read data from the data output circuit among the core chips. With this arrangement, a sufficient latch margin for read data to be input can be secured on the interface chip side. Furthermore, as the output timing is adjusted on each core chip side, there is no need to prepare the same number of latch timing control circuits as the number of core chips on the interface chip side.
