Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes even page buffers coupled to even memory cells through respective even bit lines, odd page buffers coupled to odd memory cells through respective odd bit lines, first BL selectors, each configured to couple each of the even bit lines to the respective even page buffers and to couple each of the even page buffers to respective odd bit lines so that the even and odd page buffers precharge the odd bit lines in a precharge operation for the odd bit lines, and second BL selectors, each configured to couple each of the odd bit lines to the respective odd page buffers and to couple each of the odd page buffers to respective even bit lines so that the even and odd page buffers precharge the even bit lines in a precharge operation for the even bit lines.
