Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes: a delay locked loop (DLL) for delaying an external clock to generate a DLL clock; an output control unit for generating a select signal based on a column address strobe (CAS) latency signal and a delay time corresponding to a total delay time of the DLL being in a delay locked state; and an output enable signal generating unit for generating a plurality of output enable signals in response to the DLL clock and outputting a final output enable signal in response to the select signal.
