ABSTRACT:
When accessing a data bit memorized in a memory cell of a memory cell array incorporated in a dynamic random access memory device, a word line driving unit boosts one of the word lines coupled to the accessed memory cell over a power voltage level for allowing electric charges stored in the memory cell to be read out from the bit line pair, lowers the selected word line, and, then, boosts again after difference amplification so that the extremely thin gate oxide of the switching transistor forming a part of the accessed memory cell is hardly damaged by the extremely high voltage level.
