Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes at least four memory cell array blocks, each having an array of memory cells, row and column decoders for selecting a memory cell designated by a row and column address, an I/O line for inputting/outputting data of the memory cell array block, and an I/O driver connected to the I/O line for selectively driving data to/from a selected memory cell. A first data line transmits the data, being connected between the I/O driver of one memory cell array block and the I/O driver of another memory cell array block oppositely arranged with respect to a central portion of the semiconductor memory device. A second data line transmits the data by connecting the first data lines of at least two memory cell array blocks disposed adjacent to each other. A data sense amplifier, connected to the second data line, senses and amplifies the data, and a data output unit, connected to the data sense amplifier, outputs the amplified data to an external lead frame. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage in that a relatively small layout area in required and a relatively low amount of power is consumed.
