ABSTRACT:
A row decoder for a semiconductor memory device including a pull-up signal generating part producing pull-up signals in response to output signals of a row address predecoder and applying the pull-up signals across word line driving part; and a pull-down signal generating part producing pull-down signals in response to output signals of the row address predecoder and applying the pull-down signals across the word line driving part. A pair of pull-up signals among the pull-up signals share one of the pull-down signals, thus controlling the word line driving part. The pull-down signal generating part includes NOR gates that perform NOR operation with respect to the output signals of the row address predecoder and the pull-up signals of the pull-up signal generating part, thus outputting the pull-down signals.
