ABSTRACT:
By setting the substrate potential of a transistor of a driver means lower than the substrate potential of a transistor of a bias means in an intermediate potential generation circuit which supplies a cell plate potential of a memory cell and a precharge potential of a bit line, a flow of a through current in a transistor of the driver means is prevented. Therefore, reduction of a power consumption of the device during standby can be realized.
