An address buffer in a semiconductor memory apparatus includes: an address input unit that generates a first latch input address from a buffering enable signal and an input address. A clock synchronizing unit generates a second latch input address from the first latch input address and a clock. A synchronous address latch unit generates a synchronous output address from a command pulse signal and the second latch input address. A synchronous mode detecting unit determines whether a mode is a synchronous mode or not from a valid address signal and the clock to generate a synchronous mode signal. An asynchronous address latch unit generates an asynchronous output address from the synchronous mode signal, an address strobing signal, and the second latch input address.
