A semiconductor memory device includes a command delay section configured to delay a command signal applied through a command input pad by a parity delay amount in synchronization with an operating clock and output a parity command signal in a parity operation mode, wherein the command delay section is further configured to be controlled in response to an error determination signal, a command decoder configured to decode the parity command signal and transfer a resultant signal to a plurality of memory banks, and an error determination unit configured to determine whether an error has occurred in the command signal and generate an error determination signal.
