ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a word driver circuit provided in a memory circuit. The word driver circuit comprises a P channel and an N channel transistor having a gate electrode commonly connected and one source or drain electrode commonly connected. The N channeltransistor has another source or drain electrode connected to a ground. A word line is connected to the commonly connected source or drain electrode of the transistors. A first selection signal, generated by decoding a first group of address signals, whose potential is either a first potential by which the N channel transistor is rendered conductive or a second potential lower than the first power supply is supplied to the gate electrodes. And a second selection signal, generated by decoding a second group of address signals, whose potential is either a third potential of the selected word line or a fourth potential equal or lower than the first power supply is supplied to another source or drain of the P transistor.
