Abstract

In a semiconductor memory device, sub-macros are connected sequentially onto an interface unit in which each sub-macro includes a data control unit connected to the interface unit through a global data line, a first memory block and a second memory block. The first memory block is connected to one side of the data control unit through a first local data line, and the second memory block is connected to the other side of the data control unit through a second local data line.
