Abstract

A semiconductor memory device can ensure a sufficient margin between a column select signal and a column address signal when a delay time of the column select signal is increased to improve an address access time during a write operation. The semiconductor memory device includes a discrimination signal generating circuit configured to generate a discrimination signal activated in a write operation of the device, and a selective delay circuit configured to selectively delay a column address in response to the discrimination signal.
