A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a command decoder for
issuing a control command in accordance with a supplied control signal, a
DRAM core, and a timing adjusting circuit for supplying the control
command, set active for a predetermined period, as a DRAM control signal
to the DRAM core. The timing adjusting circuit generates n different
clocks that are respectively shifted in phase with respect to a supplied
reference clock, and generates the DRAM control signal by setting the
control command active in a prescribed operation cycle for only a period
starting at a first predetermined clock pulse of a first clock of the n
clocks and ending at a second predetermined clock pulse of a second clock
of the n clocks. In this way, timing design with relatively high accuracy
of adjustment can be done in a short period.
