Input/output strobe pulse control circuit and semiconductor memory device including the same

Abstract

An input/output strobe pulse control circuit includes a control signal generator suitable for generating first to third control signals in response to a column selection enable signal and a first input/output strobe pulse signal, a first latch suitable for generating a second input/output strobe pulse signal in response to the first and second control signals, wherein the second input/output strobe pulse signal is enabled at a failing edge of the column selection enable signal and disabled at a falling edge of the first input/output strobe pulse signal, and a second latch suitable for generating a selection control signal for selectively outputting the first input/output strobe pulse signal or the second input/output strobe pulse signal based on whether the first input/output strobe pulse signal is enabled within an enabling section of the column selection enable signal, in response to the second and third control signals.
