ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cells arranged according to a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The memory devices further includes a plurality of bit lines, each bit line being associated with a respective column of the plurality, and a selecting structure of the bit lines, to select at least one among the bit lines, keeping the remaining bit lines unselected. The memory device further includes a voltage clamping circuit structured to cause the clamping at a prescribed voltage of the unselected bit lines adjacent to a selected bit line during an access operation to the memory.
