ABSTRACT:
Each of a plurality of memory blocks arranged for 1 bit data is divided into two subarrays. A separate local data line is provided for each subarray and coupled to a sense amplifier via an isolation gate. A memory cell is selected in a selected subarray of a selected memory block, and a bit line of the selected memory cell is coupled to a corresponding local data line. Only a local data line of the selected subarray is coupled to the sense amplifier to perform a sense operation, and a global read data line is driven via a read driver in accordance with an output signal of the sense amplifier. A load of a sense node of the sense amplifier in a semiconductor memory device is reduced to implement high-speed reading of internal data.
