Abstract

A semiconductor memory device has normal memory blocks and redundant memory blocks for storing data therein. To elevate the redundancy efficiency, the memory device includes a number of normal block selectors for selecting the normal blocks, a number of redundant decoders for sensing a redundant mode on a basis of address signals provided thereto from an address buffer, a block selection decoder for generating a block selection signal by receiving an external address signal shaped, and a redundancy combining signal generator for generating a normal block selection signal and a redundant block selection signal by receiving output of the block selection decoder and output of the redundant decoder.
