ABSTRACT:
The threshold voltage of bit line percharge/equalize MOS transistors is smaller than that of normally ON type bit line pull-up transistors. With this feature, there is no current flows through a bit line from power source V.sub.DD during a read-out operation. The voltage difference between a pair of bit lines can be increased at high speed, thereby increasing the read-out speed.
