Abstract
A semiconductor memory device and a memory system are disclosed. The semiconductor memory device includes: a memory bank configured to include a first section and a second section, each of which is comprised of a plurality of memory cells; an LIO line switching circuit configured to generate first and second selection signals on the basis of page-size information; and an input/output (I/O) circuit configured to access the first section, the second section, or the first and second sections on the basis of the first and second selection signals, wherein the page-size information includes first and second information. If the page-size information is the first information, the LIO line switching circuit generates the first and second selection signals using a row address, and if the page-size information is the second information, the LIO line switching circuit generates the first and second selection signals using a column address.
