A semiconductor memory device includes a voltage detection circuit. The voltage detection circuit uses a voltage division circuit to derive from a test command voltage forming a test command signal EXTSH a voltage fraction which is one-third of the original voltage and uses another voltage division circuit to derive from an external supply voltage a voltage fraction which is a half of the original voltage. The two voltage fractions are compared by a comparison circuit of differential amplification type to detect the test command voltage and cause transition of a test target circuit of the semiconductor memory device to a test mode. P channel MOS transistors constituting the voltage division circuits all operate in resistance mode. The test command signal of high-voltage can thus be detected.
