Abstract
A semiconductor memory device adjusts an activation timing and pulse width of a pin strobe signal according to a power supply voltage variation, and thereby loads data on a pipelatch properly and prevents an activation period of a pin strobe signal from falling out of a period for valid data. The semiconductor memory device includes a voltage detector configured to detect a level of a power supply voltage to output a detection signal, a pin strobe signal transfer path configured to transfer a pin strobe signal determining an input timing of data to a pipelatch, a delay controller configured to control a delay value of the pin strobe signal transfer path in response to the detection signal, and a pulse width modulator configured to modulate a pulse width of the pin strobe signal in response to the detection signal.
