ABSTRACT:
An improved word line driving circuit for a memory capable of decoding a free-decoded low address signal to an eternally applied voltage level and driving a word line using a power-up voltage level of a memory, thus advantageously achieving a low voltage consumption for driving a word line, which includes a decoder for decoding free-decoded first through third low address signals and an externally applied control signal and for outputting a decoding signal of a voltage level or a low level; a switch for outputting a free-decoded word line enable signal of a power-up voltage level or a low level switched in accordance with a decoding signal outputted from the decoder; a word line selector for outputting a word line selection signal of a power-up voltage and for selecting a word line in accordance with a word line enable signal outputted from the switch; and a word line stabilization circuit for stabilizing the level of a word line selected by the word line selector in accordance with a word line enable signal outputted from the switch.
