Abstract

We describe a semiconductor memory device including a memory cell array and a storage device to store access data. The memory cell array is accessed responsive to the access data. The memory cell array access is determined by the access data stored in the storage device. The memory cell array is accessed according to access data only if necessary, drastically reducing power dissipation.
