Data of column bits more than the number of the registers can be accessed continuously in spite of the minimum register configuration. Further, the head column address can be selected freely.

A method for accessing a clock-synchronous semiconductor memory device including memory cells arranged in matrix. The cells are divided into at least two blocks, access to the cells in these blocks is designated from address data provided from an external device, and access to the memory cell is executed synchronously with an externally-supplied clock signal, which comprises setting the other blocks in an access preparation state or in an access operation standby state while one block is in an access operating state, setting a certain block in the access operating state via the access preparation state when the certain block is designated for the access operation by the address data and if the certain block is in the access operating state, and setting a certain block in the access operating state immediately when the certain block is designated for the access operation by the address data and if the certain block is in the access preparation state or in the access operation standby state. In the device, the designation of the cell in the block to be accessed is set using address data designating a block externally-provided from outside of the device.

An image memory comprises a random access memory, a serial access memory including a main register and a preregister, a data transfer section for carrying out data transfer between the random access memory and the serial access memory, and a designation section for designating an address of serial access. The data transfer section serves to transfer data from the random access memory to the main register of the serial access memory through the preregister. Furthermore, a serial access to the serial access memory is made on the basis of an address designated by the designation means. Thus, a transfer system defined as a hidden transfer for carrying out data transfer only between the random access memory and the preregister is set as a technique for relaxing the restriction on the transfer timings. This technique permits the serial access memory to be used with the divided or split segments having arbitrary lengths, respectively.

In a semiconductor memory system of the serial column access type, a redundant column is used for replacing a defective column. Redundant data lines are connected to the redundant column through a redundant column selection gate. A defective address detection circuit detects the address of a defective column to enable the redundant column selection gate. An address counter is provided for a defective address detection circuit. A redundant column selection circuit selects the redundant column in response to a detection signal from the defective address detection circuit. A data line switching circuit switches, in redundant column select mode, the data lines connecting to a data input/output drive circuit from said regular data lines to the redundant data lines. With this circuit arrangement, in a redundant column select mode, the regular data lines are separated from the data input/output drive circuit. Therefore, even if a shift register constituting a regular column selection circuit operates and the defective column selection gate is enabled to set up a connection of the defective column to the regular data lines, the error data from the defective column is never output. Further, the shift register is operable irrespective of the defective column detection.

A novel semiconductor memory device having address comparator, word line drive circuit sense circuit, and control circuit is disclosed. The comparator judges whether or not a row address read in the present access cycle is in correspondence with that in the last cycle. Where it is judged that the former is not in correspondence with the latter, the control circuit allows the sense circuit to select a word line by this row address to transfer data of a memory cell to the bit line to allow the sense means to sense. On the other hand, where it is judged by the comparator that the former is in correspondence with the latter, since data of the memory cell belonging to the same word line is already sensed in the last cycle, the control circuit allows the readout circuit to read out data from a bit line corresponding to the column address without causing the sense circuit to carry out a sense operation for a second time. Thus, only when the row address changes with respect to that in the last cycle, a sense operation is caused to be carried out. Thus, the readout operation can be performed at a high speed.

A semiconductor memory device determines the level of a select control signal, according to the level of drive signals for two systems as generated in the preceding access cycle, and the level of the least significant bit of an address to fetch data in a desired serial access cycle. In accordance with this select signal, a select circuit selects one of the drive signals as generated by drive signal generating circuits, and supplies the selected signal to two data selecting/fetching systems. The function of this select circuit allows one of the two data selecting/fetching systems to first start the data access operation.
