A memory device compensates for delay time variations among multi-bit
data. The device includes a first stage and a second stage of data
storage units. The first stage of data storage units store first to nth
data bits in response to a latch clock signal. The second stage of data
storage units store the first to nth data contents output from the first
stage of data storage units in response to a reference clock signal. The
latch clock signal is obtained by delaying the reference clock signal.
The latch clock signal includes first to nth sub latch signals. The sub
latch signals are generated at different times according to propagation
delay time periods of the corresponding first to nth data contents.
