ABSTRACT:
A first inverter includes a first load element and a first transistor, which are connected between first and second terminals in series, a first input terminal and a first output terminal. A second inverter includes a second load element and a second transistor, which are connected between third and fourth terminals in series, a second input terminal and a second output terminal. A first transfer transistor selectively and electrically connects the first output terminal and a first bit line. A second transfer transistor selectively and electrically connects the second output terminal and a second bit line. When data are read from the memory cell which comprises the first and second inverters and the first and second transfer transistors, a first potential is applied to the second terminal and a second potential different from the first potential is applied to the fourth terminal.
