ABSTRACT:
A low power precharge circuit for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is disclosed. The present invention includes an equalization circuit connected to a pair of bitlines for allowing electric charge of the bitline having higher voltage to flow to the bitline having lower voltage after being activated by a precharge control signal. A voltage pull circuit is used to provide a constant voltage in response to a first sense control signal. Further, a voltage amplifying circuit connected to the pair of bitlines is used to amplify the voltages of the bitlines in response to a second sense control signal so that the voltage of one bitline is complementary to the voltage of the other bitline.
