ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device to output voltages at three levels to a word driver while alleviating the breakdown voltage in the MOS transistor. This invention is comprised of a breakdown-voltage reducing MOS transistor inserted in the word driver and two NMOS transistors to supply a read-out voltage to a word line. The word driver is moreover controlled by different voltage amplitudes on the main word lines and the common word lines.
