Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a pipe latch unit having a plurality of pipe latches, each of which latches an external address in response to the activation of an external command and outputs an internal address in response to the activation of an internal command corresponding to the external command. A pipe latch control unit is configured to control the pipe latch unit to sequentially enable the plurality of pipe latches. An output drive unit is configured to selectively output the internal address or the external address. The internal command is activated after a predetermined latency from an activation timing of the external command.
