ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device is disclosed that reduces a consumed current in a standby mode including a self-refresh mode. In one aspect of the invention, a semiconductor memory device includes a row-system circuit for receiving a first power from a power supply and operable in accordance with a row address strobe signal, a column-system circuit operable in accordance with a column address strobe signal, and a switch circuit that is connected to the column-system circuit. This switch circuit receives the first power from the power supply and supplies the first power to the column-system circuit in an active mode and produces a second power lower than the first power and supplying the second power to the column-system circuit in a standby mode.
