Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device includes a memory cell array, an input/output circuit, and a logic circuit. The input/output circuit including an input/output signal line through which data to be written into the memory cell array is received and data read from the memory cell array is transmitted. The logic circuit is configured to output a first signal to the input/output circuit. The first signal at an active level enables at least a part of the input/output circuit. The logic circuit includes a latch circuit configured to output a second signal at a level corresponding to a value of latched data. The logic circuit receives third, fourth, and fifth signals from an outside of the storage device via the input/output circuit. The logic circuit outputs a negative logical product of the third signal and a logical sum of at least the second, fourth, and fifth signals as the first signal.
