Abstract
A precharge control signal generator and a semiconductor memory device include a precharge control signal generating circuit which generates a precharge control signal and applies the precharge control signal to a sensing circuit, and a sensing circuit configured to precharge a bit line connected to a memory cell according to the precharge control signal and read data stored in the memory cell. The precharge control signal controls the sensing circuit so that a precharge time is adjusted according to operating temperature.
