ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor memory, a sub bit line hierarchical switch is provided correspondingly to each sub bit line between the sub bit line and a main bit line corresponding to the sub bit line, and a complementary sub bit line hierarchical switch is provided correspondingly to each complementary sub bit line between the complementary sub bit line and a complementary main bit line corresponding to the complementary sub bit line. Furthermore, the semiconductor memory includes a hierarchical switch control unit for turning off all the sub bit line hierarchical switch and the complementary sub bit line hierarchical switch when a given signal is input.
