Abstract
In a semiconductor memory device 100 including a power supply voltage decision circuit 101 for detecting whether or not the power supply voltage is higher than a predetermined level to produce an output signal LVD, an oscillator 102 which produces an oscillated signal .phi. as an output signal, an intended counter value altering circuit 103, and a binary counter circuit 104, a writing or erasing time interval is elongated by the output signal LVD, when the power supply voltage becomes lower than the predetermined level.
