Abstract

Disclosed a semiconductor memory device in which an access to a memory cell is designated according to a command, and a common data terminal is used as an input terminal to which a write signal to the memory cell is input and an output terminal from which a read signal from the memory cell is output. The semiconductor memory device includes: a first input circuit having input capacitance corresponding to the input terminal to which the command is input; and a second input circuit having input capacitance corresponding to the data terminal. A mask signal for checking the write signal input from the data terminal is input by either the first or second input circuit by a bonding option technique.
