ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of word lines, a plurality of pairs of bit lines and complementary bit lines that cross the word lines, and a plurality of memory cells, each memory cell being disposed at a region where a respective word line and a pair of a bit line and a complementary bit line cross each other. A voltage control unit includes a plurality of elements connected in series between a power voltage source and the memory cells and are switched on/off in response to a control signal that controls an operation of the plurality of memory cells. The voltage control unit controls the voltage of the power voltage source to a predetermined level, thereby obtaining a controlled voltage to be supplied to the memory cells.
