Disclosed is a synchronous information storage device that uses a
synchronizing clock signal to exercise operation timing control and
processes operations with high efficiency to improve performance and
provide low power consumption, which is characteristic of DRAMs. The
information storage device includes a plurality of memory cells for
storing data by accumulating an electrical charge and an amplifier for
amplifying the electrical charge of the memory cells, and uses a
synchronizing clock signal for input/output timing of the data. An
electrical charge removal operation for moving an electrical charge from
the memory cells to the amplifier or an electrical charge accumulation
operation for acquiring an electrical charge from the amplifier and
accumulating the electrical charge in the memory cells and an
input/output operation for the amplifier in relation to the outside of
the information storage device are processed while using a single clock
of the synchronizing clock signal for synchronization timing.
