Abstract

The present invention provides a technique capable of achieving area reduction on a semiconductor integrated circuit device mounted with a time sharing virtual multi port memory or the like. By providing a configuration including a single port memory, data latch circuit for plural ports, a selector for selecting a port to be connected to the single port memory, a time sharing control signal generating circuit and the like, in which an operation termination signal inside the single port memory (a word line rising signal, a sense amplifier driving signal for data read or the like) is inputted to the time sharing control signal generating circuit to produce a port switching control signal and an operation control signal for the single port memory, a time sharing virtual multi port memory with a reduced area can be realized which requires no clock generating circuit for time sharing control newly.
