ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor memory device, a power supply voltage detecting circuit receives a power supply voltage for outputting a detection signal which is activated when the power supply voltage is not higher than a reference level and which is deactivated when the power supply voltage is higher than a reference level, and a voltage step-up circuit receives the power supply voltage for supplying a stepped-up voltage. A voltage selection circuit receives the power supply voltage and the stepped-up voltage and is controlled by the detection signal to supply the stepped-up voltage to a word line of the memory when the detection signal is active and the power supply voltage to the word line of the memory when the detection signal is inactive.
