ABSTRACT:
An input circuit in a DRAM includes a differential amplifier circuit amplifying a potential difference between a potential of an input signal and a reference potential, an inverter outputting an inversion signal of an output signal of the differential amplifier circuit, a latch circuit holding an output signal in a preceding cycle, and two resistive elements for switching the reference potential in accordance with an output signal of the latch circuit. Thus, the reference potential is switched in accordance with the logic level of the input signal in the preceding cycle, allowing accurate determination of the logic level of the input signal.
