Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a transmission line, connected to a driving unit, for transmitting a signal from the driving unit, a delaying unit for delaying a level of the transmission line to output the delayed signal, a precharging unit for receiving the delayed signal to precharge the transmission line, and a stabilization unit for accelerating the level transition of the transmission line, wherein the stabilization unit includes a detecting unit for detecting the level of the transmission line transmitted from the driving unit to generate a detected signal, and a switching unit for performing a switching operation in response to the detected level to swiftly achieve a level transition of the transmission line.
