ABSTRACT:
A memory cell data output circuit includes a sense amplifier circuit having a first input terminal supplied with an output signal from memory cells, a second input terminal connected to dummy cells, and an output terminal, first switching element having a gate supplied with a control signal, for switching between the first input terminal and the ground potential, and second switching element having a gate supplied with an inverted signal of the control signal, for switching between the second input terminal and a power source potential, wherein the first and second switching elements respectively set the first and second input terminals to the ground potential and power source potential by turning on the switches in a preset period before the sense amplifier starts the sensing operation according to the control signals and turning off the switches after completion of the preset period.
