A semiconductor memory device, such as a synchronous DRAM, receives external commands and an external clock signal via input buffers. The device generates internal clock signals having a slower frequency than the external clock signal and uses the internal clock signals to acquire the external command. This allows more than one external command to be acquired for each cycle of the external clock. The acquired external commands are provided to command decoders for decoding. A mask circuit is connected to the decoder circuits and inhibits the decoding circuits, except for a first one of the decoding circuits, from decoding the external commands for a predetermined time period, when the first decoder circuit is decoding the external commands.
