ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device includes at least one word line, at least one memory cell coupled to the word line, a decoder circuit responding to address information to generate a word line drive signal taking one of an active level and an inactive level, a signal generator generating a reset signal tacking an active level in a reset mode and an inactive level in a selection mode, and a word line driver coupled to receive the word line drive signal and the reset signal and to the word line. The word line driver includes a first drive circuit responding to the active level of the reset signal to drive the word line to a non-selection level and maintaining the word line at the non-selection level when the word line drive signal and the reset signal are at the inactive level. A second drive circuit responds to the active level of the word line drive signal and the inactive level of the reset signal to drive the word line to a selection level.
