US Patent 11127439 Semiconductor device including first-in first-out circuit

A semiconductor device including a FIFO circuit in which a data capacity can be increased while minimizing an increase in a circuit scale is provided. The semiconductor device includes a single-port type storage unit (11) which stores data, a flip-flop (12) which temporarily stores write data (FIFO input) or read data (FIFO output) of the storage unit (11), and a control unit (14, 40) which controls a write timing of a data signal, which is stored in the flip-flop (12), to the storage unit (11) or a read timing of the data signal from the storage unit to avoid an overlap between a write operation and a read operation in the storage unit (11).
