Abstract
A semiconductor memory device has a reduced number of sense amplifiers to suppress an increase in chip size and power consumption as integration is increased. A semiconductor memory device can be adapted to read out from a memory cell array in pages or bursts can include sense amplifiers (2) for reading out data for a page length or burst length in two parts, including a first half and second half, and a page buffer (3) for storing data for the page length or burst length read out from a memory cell array (1) by the sense amplifier (2).
