In a semiconductor memory device, global column-select lines are provided for selecting specific memory-cell arrays in accordance with select signals, and a pair of global input/output signal line is provided for each memory-cell array and connected to a pair of local input/output signal lines associated with the memory-cell array on a one-to-one basis to implement a multi-bank architecture. Alternatively, each pair of local input/output signal lines is divided into pairs of partial local input/output signal lines which are each connected to a pair of global input/output signal lines on a one-to-one basis. A memory-cell architecture is provided which has a number of data buses corresponding to an increased number of divided memory-cell arrays or memory banks to meet demands for a multi-bank and multi-bit semiconductor memory device.
