ABSTRACT:
In a memory device employing a memory sense amplifier of the grounded-gate type, by putting a word line in an active state from a point of time in a precharge period, a high-speed operation can be implemented with no increase in access time due to a lagging change of the electric potential at the gate of the grounded-gate transistor because of an effect of a wire resistance. In addition, by lowering the electric-potential of the gate of the grounded-gate transistor using a current-mirror circuit, low power consumption can be realized.
