Abstract

A semiconductor memory device has common terminals shared between a part or all of address terminals for receiving n bits of an address signal and data terminals for outputting a data signal with its bit width of n bits or less and dedicated address terminals for receiving m bits of the address signal, wherein at the time of a read, after the n bits of the address signal have been input, a plurality of data signals within a selected page are consecutively read out through the common terminals using the m bits of the address signal input from the dedicated address terminals.
