PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor memory capable of easilily dealing with the extension of banks without increasing chip area and realizing high speed access. SOLUTION: A central row system control circuit 1 transmits an internal row address signal RA <8:0> in common to each memory sub-block MSB a common bank of memory mats NM1, NM2 asynchronously with an external clock signal, also, latches a block selecting signal BS <7:0> specifying a memory sub-block synchronizing with an internal clock signal CLKR, and transmits it to each memory sub-block. Also, a spare discriminating circuit 4 performs spare discrimination asynchronously with a clock signal.
