To perform mask control of data signals without increasing the number of external terminals even when the number of bits in a data mask signal is large, an address input circuit sequentially receives a first address signal, a second address signal, and a first data mask signal supplied to an address terminal in synchronization with transition edges of a clock signal. Namely, the first data mask signal is supplied to the address terminal at a different timing from timing at which the first and second address signals are received. The first address signal, second address signal, and first data mask signal are output, for example, from a controller accessing a semiconductor memory. A data input/output circuit inputs/outputs data via a data terminal and masks at least either of write data to memory cells and read data from the memory cells in accordance with logic of the first data mask signal.
