According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a plurality of semiconductor chips and a control unit. The plurality of semiconductor chips is configured to connect to a signal transmission path and is controlled individually by individual chip enable signals. The plurality of semiconductor chips each includes a termination circuit connected to the signal transmission path. When one of the semiconductor chips is selected to input or output data, the control unit activates the termination circuit provided in the semiconductor chip that is not selected based on a first instruction signal and the chip enable signal.
