ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor memory apparatus having a plurality of sense amplifiers each including a pair of flip-flops respectively formed of n-channel and p-channel FETs, the flip-flops being connected in parallel between a pair of data lines each coupled to receive data signals from a plurality of memory cells, the p-channel flip-flops are activated prior to the n-channel flip-flops at the start of a memory read operation, to thereby ensure that even with an adverse combination of logic states of a data word read from a very large storage capacity memory, there will be no significant difference between the respective time points at which amplification by the n-channel flip-flop and p-channel flip-flops of each sense amplifier begin.
