<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a serial access memory in which the cost of process development is cut down and a chip size is reduced. <P>SOLUTION: This serial access memory has write registers T1, T2, ..., for temporarily storing data, a memory array having memory cells 11 and having a plurality of memory columns 10 that connect the memory cells 11 by word lines WL1, WL2, ..., and a second switch SW1 connected between the write registers T1, T2, ..., and the memory columns 10 to perform conduction between the write registers T1, T2, ..., and the memory columns 10 in response to second selection signals WTR1 to 4. In the serial access memory, the write registers T1, T2, ..., are connected to the prescribed number of memory columns 10, and the second switch SW1 is made to respond to the second selection signals WTR1 to 4 to perform conduction between the write registers T1 and T2 and only one of the prescribed number of memory columns 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
