Semiconductor memory device
View Patent ↗A first input buffer receives sequentially inputted first data. A first data selector selectively transfers the first data from the first input buffer in accordance with a data input mode. A first data alignment circuit aligns and outputs the data from the first data selector. A second input buffer receives sequentially inputted second data in accordance with the data input mode. A second data selector selectively transfers the data of the first input buffer or of the second input buffer, in accordance with the data input mode. A first data alignment circuit aligns and outputs the data from the second data selector.
1. A semiconductor memory device, comprising:
input buffers configured to buffer a plurality of sequentially inputted data in accordance with a data input mode;
data alignment circuits configured to align the plurality of sequentially inputted data buffered from the input buffers, respectively, to output parallel data; and
a data selector configured to selectively transfer the plurality of sequentially inputted data from the input buffers to the data alignment circuits in accordance with the data input mode.
2. The semiconductor memory device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the input buffers include:
a first input buffer configured to buffer a plurality of sequentially inputted first data to output buffered first data; and
a second input buffer configured to buffer a plurality of sequentially inputted second data in accordance with the data input mode to output buffered second data.
3. The semiconductor memory device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the data alignments circuits include:
a first data alignment circuit configured to align the buffered first data; and
a second data alignment circuit configured to align the buffered first data or the buffered second data in accordance with the data input mode.
4. The semiconductor memory device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the data selector selectively transfers the buffered first data to the first data alignment circuit in accordance with the data input mode, and selectively transfers the buffered first data or the buffered second data to the second data alignment circuit in accordance with the data input mode.
5. The semiconductor memory device as recited in claim 2 , wherein, in the data input mode that only the plurality of sequentially inputted first data are inputted, the data selector transfers the buffered first data in response to an address of the plurality of sequentially inputted first data.
6. The semiconductor memory device as recited in claim 3 , further comprising:
a first global line;
a first global driver configured to drive the first global line by using an output of the first data alignment circuit;
a second global line; and
a second global driver configured to drive the second global line by using an output of the second data alignment circuit.
