ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device with a memory array of cells formed as a matrix has bit lines, and word lines driven by word line drivers, where each of the word line drivers simultaneously selects and drives at least two word lines in order to minimize line resistances of the word lines, thereby minimizing a delay time and improving a speed of sensing a cell data. Accordingly a number of the word line drivers is at least one-half a number of the word lines.
