1. A semiconductor memory device, comprising:
a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell being addressed by selectively activating one of a plurality word lines and one of a plurality of bit lines;
an input for receiving a clock signal;
a counter for providing successively a plurality of addresses according to a predetermined sequence in response to the clock signal;
a first address circuit that receives the addresses and activates word lines corresponding to the addresses;
a second address circuit that activates bit lines; and
a register provided between the output terminals of the counter and the first address circuit, the register providing each of the addresses to the first address circuit after a predetermined delay from the clock signal.
