In a chip that processes image information or the like, a multi-port SRAM is mixed together with a logic circuit such as a digital signal processing circuit. In that case, for example, in case that the 3 port is used, the 1 port may serve as a differential write and readout port, and the 2 port may serve as a single ended readout dedicated port. However, in this configuration, it is obvious that there is a problem, in that while the occupied area of an embedded SRAM is reduced, the number of write and readout ports is limited to only one, and readout characteristics as fast as differential readout cannot be expected in single ended readout. The outline of the present application is that three differential write and readout ports are included in a memory cell structure of the embedded SRAM, an N-well region, for example, is arranged at the center of a cell, and a P-well region is arranged on both sides thereof. |
