摘要:
In a semiconductor memory device having redundancy capability, a control signal generating circuit is included respectively for each of a predetermined number of redundant column select signal lines, to generate a predetermined number of block control signals by dividing a plurality of memory cell array blocks into a predetermined number of groups. A predetermined number of defective enable signal generating circuits are included for each of the redundant column select signal lines, to generate a predetermined number of redundant enable signals when defective addresses are input. The redundant column select signal lines are established for defective addresses based on the block control signals. A selection circuit is included respectively for each of the redundant column select signal lines to generate a select signal for selecting a redundant column select signal line corresponding to each of a predetermined number of redundant enable signals, in response to the block control signals. The efficiency of redundancy is thus improved by performing a redundancy operation by dividing a plurality of memory cell arrays into a predetermined number of groups for each of redundant column select signals.
