  • Publication number: 20080175076
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a charge circuit which compensates for OFF leakage current developed at selected bit lines, a reset circuit having a ground potential corresponding to a potential at non-selected bit lines, a read circuit constituted by a plurality of transistors whose gates are connected to the bit lines, and a bit line precharge circuit which charges the selected bit lines for a fixed time period. As a result of adopting such a configuration, there is no need to provide a transmission gate, such as a column decoder, to a charging path between the read circuit and the bit lines, so that a low-power supply voltage operation can be effected without the influence of a substrate bias effect.

  • Patent number: 7379362
    Abstract: In semiconductor memory devices having hierarchical bit line structures, a transfer transistor provided between a main bit line and a sub-bit line hinders achievement of a high speed and a low voltage. A sub-bit line SBL in a subarray 12 is connected via a first transistor PC1 to a power source voltage, and via a second transistor NC1 to a ground voltage. A main bit line MBLj is connected via a third transistor PD1 to the power source voltage. The gate electrodes of the first transistor PC1 and the second transistor NC1 are connected to the main bit line MBLj, the gate electrode of the third transistor PD1 is connected to the sub-bit line SBL. In an initial state, a voltage of the main bit line MBLj is controlled to be at an H level, and voltages of word lines WLi1 to Wlip are controlled to be at an L level. When a read operation is performed, the voltage of the main bit line MBLj transitions to the L level, and thereafter, the voltage of a selected word line transitions to the H level.
