ABSTRACT:
According to a semiconductor device of the present invention, a differential potential between a sense amplification level and a precharge level of a sense amplifier is set to a power supply potential (VCC-GND) so as to improve resistance against degradation of hold characteristics. Further, low power consumption can be realized along with the improvement. Additionally, the precharge level is set to a power supply of GND or VCC so as to realize a stable supply of the precharge level. Further, a chip size can be reduced since a power supply circuit for precharge is not needed.
