Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a cell block including a first bit line, a sense amplifier unit including a second bit line and configured to amplify a data signal applied to the second bit line, a connection unit configured to selectively connect the first bit line and the second bit line, a connection control unit configured to receive a control signal for driving the sense amplifier unit and a selection signal for selecting the cell block and generate a connection signal for activating the connection unit at a first time, and a sense amplifier driving control unit configured to receive the control signal and generate a sense amplifier driving signal for driving the sense amplifier unit at a second time after the first time.
