ABSTRACT:
A static random access memory comprising a memory cell array, a plurality of peripheral circuits, first and second power-supply voltage lines, a bonding pad, and a level-shifting circuit. The array has static memory cells each having resistors functioning as load elements. The peripheral circuits control the writing of data into, and the reading of data from, the static memory cells. The first power-supply voltage line applies a first power-supply voltage to the peripheral circuits. The bonding pad is connected to the first power-supply voltage line. The second power-supply voltage line applies a second power-supply voltage to the static memory cells. The level-shifting means is connected between the first and second power-supply voltage lines, for shifting the level of the first power-supply voltage and applying the level-shifted voltage to the static memory cells via said second power-supply voltage line.
