ABSTRACT:
A first bit line is connected to a memory cell. A second bit line is connected to a dummy cell having a dummy capacitor, and supplied with an electric potential which is complementary to the electric potential of the first bit line. A sense amplifier compares and amplifies the first and second bit lines. A sense amplifier supply voltage generation circuit supplies the sense amplifier with a sense amplifier supply voltage to be used in the comparison and amplification by the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier supply voltage is supplied to a reference potential generation circuit. When data is read out from the memory cell to the first bit line, the reference potential generation circuit supplies, to the second bit line via the dummy cell, a reference potential which fluctuates with a positive correlation to the fluctuation in sense amplifier supply voltage.
