Abstract

A semiconductor memory device can appropriately control operation timing, based on changes in the environment (for example, power supply voltage and temperature, etc.) when in use. The semiconductor memory device includes a temperature sensorthat detects the temperature of the semiconductor memory device, a voltage detection portion (composed of a ring oscillatorand a counter) that detects the power supply voltage of the semiconductor memory device, and a control portionthat controls the operation timing in the semiconductor memory device to meet specific conditions, according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensorafter the power is applied and the voltage detected by the voltage detection portion after the power is applied.
