A semiconductor memory device has a burst write mode in which predetermined plural command signals are input through a plurality of command pads and a mask control operation in the burst write mode is performed in response to the command signals. Therefore, the mask control in burst write mode is increased in speed to give an improved data transfer rate.

Signals supplied to predetermined terminals are accepted as commands at a plurality of times, the number of operating modes is sequentially narrowed down based on the command each time and an internal circuit is controlled according to the narrowed operating modes. Since the information necessary for determining an operating mode is accepted at a plurality of times, the number of terminals necessary for inputting commands can be reduced. In particular, in case of inputting commands at a dedicated terminal, its input pads, input circuits, or the like are no longer be required so that the chip size can be reduced. The reduction is accomplished by reducing the number of terminals, which gives limits to the package size. The command controlling circuit with a plurality of accepting circuits is comprised. Each of the accepting circuits respectively accepts signals, supplied at a plurality of times, each time. In other words, in accordance with the timing of the signal supplement, a different accepting circuit is respectively operated and the internal circuit is controlled. Accordingly, a command controlling circuit may be readily designed even in the semiconductor memory device having a complicated command combination. Consequently, it is able to facilitate the verification of the design.

A semiconductor memory device operating in synchronism with a clock includes an address latch&comparator part latching a first address signal associated with a write command and comparing the first address signal with a second address signal associated with a read command. A write data buffer part holds a data signal associated with the write command. The data signal held in the write data buffer part is read as a data signal requested by the read command when the first and second address signals coincide with each other.
