Abstract:
The present invention relates to a semiconductor memory device having a low power consumption type column decoder and read operation method thereof. In accordance with the semiconductor memory device and read operation method thereof according to the present invention, one of a plurality of decoding units of a column decoder is selectively operated according to a logic value(s) of one of some of bits of a column address signal. It is thus possible to reduce unnecessary switching current.
