Abstract
A semiconductor memory device is capable of executing a first mode having a first latency and a second mode having a second latency longer than the first latency. The semiconductor memory device includes: a pad unit configured to receive an address and a command from an outside; a first delay circuit configured to delay the address by a time corresponding to the first latency; a second delay circuit including shift registers connected in series and configured to delay the address by a time corresponding to a difference between the first latency and the second latency; and a controller configured to use the first delay circuit and the second delay circuit when executing the second mode.
