Abstract
An internal address generator for use in a semiconductor memory device includes an address detector, a drive pulse generator, and a delay unit. The address detector generates a comparison signal by comparing a first address currently input with a second address previously input. The drive pulse generator generates a drive pulse in response to the comparison signal. The delay unit outputs the first address as the second address and delays the second address to thereby generate an internal address synchronized with the drive pulse in case that the first address is different from the second address.
