Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a word line decoder, a time determination signal generation circuit, and a timing circuit. The memory cell array is configured to include a plurality of memory cells, and the word line decoder is configured to control selection and a voltage level of a word line connected to each of the memory cells. The time determination signal generation circuit is configured to generate a time determination signal indicating a determination time, the determination time being a reference by which a change in a command is determined, and the timing circuit is configured to determine the change in the command from the time determination signal and generate a control signal which controls whether or not a selected word line is pre-charged.
