Abstract
An internal command signal generator and a method therefor generate internal command signal for an internal circuit operation after receiving external control signal in a synchronous memory device. Particularly, the internal command signal generator and a method therefor previously decode external input control signals for generating an internal command signal during a time required to generate an internal clock signal by buffering the external clock signal, thus produce an internal command signal, and synchronize the internal command signal to the internal clock signal. As a result, all time required to a decoding operation is reduced so that a data access time is greatly reduced.
