A semiconductor memory device operates under a so-called address multiplex access method. A row part of the device is enabled by receiving a row address strobe (RAS) signal. A column part of the device is enabled by simultaneously receiving both a column address strobe (CAS) signal and a timing control signal supplied from the row part during its enable state. A column address buffer in the column part is enabled by simultaneously receiving both the CAS signal and a timing control signal. The timing control signal is produced from a circuit when it detects and holds the RAS signal.
