ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with a memory circuit having a word line selection circuit with reduced leakage current is provided. The memory circuit includes: second word lines with which memory cells are connected; multiple bit lines that are extended in a direction orthogonal thereto and electrically connected with memory cells corresponding to selected second word lines of a plurality of the second word lines; and word drivers, constructed of CMOS inverter circuits, that select or deselect the second word lines. The sources of p-channel MOSFETs that constitute a plurality of word drivers including second word lines corresponding to selected bit lines are supplied with a voltage at a level at which second word lines are selected. The sources of the p-channel MOSFETs of the other word drivers are supplied with a voltage corresponding to a level at which second word lines are deselected.
