A semiconductor memory device is provided that can conduct the equalizing operation of bit lines with a low current consumption while maintaining a normal accessing speed and the chip area, and a control method thereof. In a semiconductor memory device of the shared sense amplification system, in a predetermined number of times which is (k-1) times or less among k-times of continuous word line selections of a selected memory block, the bit line separation gate of the unselected memory block is rendered conductive in the active period of the equalizing unit after the word line selection. Also, a circuit that equalizes a wiring higher in the capacity component is driven by a higher voltage level according to the wiring capacity component of the sense amplification power supply line and the bit lines.
