Memory control apparatus and mask timing adjusting method

A disclosed synchronous memory control apparatus for enabling reception of data read from a memory circuit in synchronism with a strobe signal from the memory circuit includes a mask circuit masking the strobe signal using a mask signal; a timing measuring circuit delaying the strobe signal in plural units of delay and latching data of each of the delayed strobe signals; and a mask generating circuit generating the mask signal. The timing measuring circuit latches the data of each of the delayed strobe signals at the first rise edge of the corresponding masked strobe signal. The mask generating circuit includes a delay circuit having plural units of delay. A start timing of the mask signal is adjusted in synchronism with an internal clock, and a signal having a delay amount corresponding to a selected unit of delay by the delay circuit is outputted as the mask signal.
