Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a command buffering unit suitable for receiving and buffering a command signal based on an enable control signal, a fuse array suitable for programming data based on the command signal, and an enable control unit suitable for generating the enable control signal, wherein an activation operation on the command buffering unit by the enable control signal is controlled during a programming operation period of the fuse array.

Claims (16)

1. A semiconductor memory device, comprising:

a command buffering unit suitable for receiving and buffering a command signal based on an enable control signal;

a fuse array suitable for programming data based on the command signal; and

an enable control unit suitable for generating the enable control signal, wherein an activation operation on the command buffering unit by the enable control signal is controlled during a programming operation period of the fuse array.

2. The semiconductor memory device of claim 1 , wherein the enable control unit adjusts an activation width of the enable control signal based on period information corresponding to the programming operation period.

3. The semiconductor memory device of claim 1 , wherein predetermined data is programmed on the fuse array, and the command buffering unit is controlled to block the command signal corresponding to an access operation during the programming operation period.

4. The semiconductor memory device of claim 3 , further comprising a memory cell array, and wherein the access operation includes a refresh operation on the memory cell array.

5. A semiconductor memory device, comprising:

a memory cell array including a normal memory cell and a redundancy memory cell;

a fuse array suitable for programming a repair target address, which is used for replacing the normal memory cell with the redundancy memory cell;

an enable control unit suitable for generating an enable control signal activated during a programming operation period of the fuse array; and

a command buffering unit suitable for receiving and buffering a command signal based on the enable control signal.

6. The semiconductor memory device of claim 5 , wherein the command signal corresponds to an access operation on the repair target address.

7. The semiconductor memory device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a control unit suitable for controlling an access operation on the normal memory cell and the redundancy memory cell based on an output signal of the command buffering unit.

8. The semiconductor memory device of claim 7 , wherein the control unit controls a refresh operation on the normal memory cell and the redundancy memory cell.
