Abstract

A synchronous semiconductor memory device capable of improving substantial transfer rate is provided. In response to a write command immediately following an act command, a control signal generating circuit applies an inactive enable signal to a read preamplifier & write buffer. In response to a write command and a precharge command, the control signal generating circuit generates an active enable signal, and the read preamplifier & write buffer writes the data stored in an FIFO to a memory cell. As late write is not performed upon reception of a write command immediately following an act command, erroneous writing of data to a not intended address can be prevented.
