A semiconductor memory device in which capacitance of a capacitor is lower and integration degree is higher. A plurality of memory blocks is connected to one bit line BL_m. A memory block MB_n_m includes a sub bit line SBL_n_m, a write switch, and a plurality of memory cells. A sub bit line SBL_n+1_m adjacent to the sub bit line SBL_n_m is connected to an amplifier circuit AMP_n/n+1_m including two inverters and two selection switches. A circuit configuration of the amplifier circuit can be changed with the selection switches. The amplifier circuit is connected to the bit line BL_m through a read switch. Because of a sufficiently low capacitance of the sub bit line SBL_n_m, potential change due to electric charges of the capacitor in each memory cell can be amplified by the amplifier circuit AMP_n/n+1_m without an error, and the amplified data can be output to the bit line BL_m.
