Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes an internal clock generator configured to generate an internal clock signal having a first clock period in response to a chip enable signal and change the first clock period of the internal clock signal in response to a clock control signal, and a controller configured to receive external commands including the chip enable signal and generate the clock control signal corresponding to a first external command other than the chip enable signal. Here, the semiconductor memory device performs a data input/output operation in response to the internal clock signal with the changed clock period.
