Abstract

A semiconductor memory device comprises an input address buffer circuit and a memory cell circuit which are constructed of static logic circuits, an address decoder circuit which is constructed of a dynamic logic circuit, a detector circuit which detects a change in an input address signal, and a pulse generator circuit which is started operating by an output signal of the detector circuit and which provides a clock signal for the dynamic logic circuit. Owing to the detector circuit and the pulse generator circuit, the semiconductor memory device operates without the necessity for any external clock signal.
