    摘要: A semiconductor memory device, such as a synchronous DRAM, receives external commands and an external clock signal via input buffers. The device generates internal clock signals having a slower frequency than the external clock signal and uses the internal clock signals to acquire the external command. This allows more than one external command to be acquired for each cycle of the external clock. The acquired external commands are provided to command decoders for decoding. A mask circuit is connected to the decoder circuits and inhibits the decoding circuits, except for a first one of the decoding circuits, from decoding the external commands for a predetermined time period, when the first decoder circuit is decoding the external commands.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory includes memory cell blocks, a burst-length information generating circuit which generates burst-length information based on a burst length, and a block enable circuit which receives the burst-length information. The block enable circuit selectively enables one of the memory cell blocks when the burst length is equal to or shorter than a predetermined burst length and selectively enables a plurality of memory cell blocks based on the burst length when the burst length is longer than the predetermined burst length. Data are read from the above-mentioned one or plurality of memory cell blocks.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes isolation circuits disconnecting cell arrays from sense amplifiers, and isolation signal generating circuits generating isolation signals that control the isolation circuits. The isolation signal generating circuits are hierarchically divided into main isolation signal generating circuits and sub isolation signal generating circuits. The sub isolation signal generating circuits generate sub isolation signals having a first potential on a high-potential side. The main isolation signal generating circuits generate main isolation signals having a second potential on the high-potential side, the second potential being lower than the first potential.
