Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cell arrays and a plurality of word lines and bit lines. The semiconductor memory device has a plurality of row driving circuits for simultaneously activating a plurality of word lines, and a plurality of column driving circuits for simultaneously and independently activating a plurality of column selection lines to simultaneously select a plurality of bit lines. A data selector selects, from the memory cells selected by the word and bit lines, a memory cell selected by different word lines and bit lines. Thus, a plurality of bits are read out or written into the memory cell arrays in parallel.
