A semiconductor memory device is provided in which a burst length and/or a column address strobe (CAS) latency may be fixed. The semiconductor memory device, which may be an SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory) device, includes a memory cell array, a burst address generation circuit to generate a burst address and a burst length detection signal, a mode setting register for setting a CAS latency and/or a burst length using an address, a pipeline circuit to delay and output data read from the memory cell array. The semiconductor memory device also includes a latency enable control signal generation circuit to generate a latency enable control signal in response to a read command or signal and the burst length detection signal, and a data output circuit to output data being output from the pipeline circuit in response to the latency enable control signal. Therefore, a circuit configuration is simplified and a test time is reduced, by fixing latency and/or burst length.
