ABSTRACT:
The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, sense amplifying means for generating a sense output signal pair, and a data output buffer for providing the sense output signal pair. The data output buffer includes a level shifter for generating a first data output signal pair by shifting the level of the sense output signal pair responsive to the output buffer enable signal. A register inverts and latches the first data output signal pair, generating a second data output signal pair. A first transmission and latch means transmits and latches the second data output signal pair generating a third data output signal pair responsive to a first control signal. A second transmission and latch means transmits and latches the second data output signal pair generating a fourth data output signal pair responsive to a second control signal. A first inverter generates a fifth data output signal pair by inverting the third data output signal pair responsive to a first data output control signal. A second inverter generates the fifth data output signal pair by inverting the fourth data output signal pair responsive to a second data output control signal. A first latch generates a sixth data output signal pair by latching the fifth data output signal pair. A logical multiplication means manipulates the sixth data output signal pair responsive to an output enable signal.
