Abstract
A column decoder in a semiconductor memory device in which address setting cannot be performed but only a serial access can be performed. The column decoder is constructed by: a redundant fuse for generating a redundant fuse signal; a column decoding circuit for decoding a column address; a column decoding switching circuit for switching an output destination of a decoding result of the column decoding circuit by the redundant fuse signal; and a column driver for driving an output signal of the column decoding switching circuit and generating it to normal column lines and a redundant column line. The column decoding circuit continuously makes the redundant column line operative after the operation of the normal column lines.
