Abstract:
A semiconductor memory includes a memory cell, a bit line electrically connected to the memory cell, a sense amplifier including a first latch circuit, a first hookup circuit, a second latch circuit, a first wiring, and a first pre-charge circuit. The sense amplifier is in a first circuit area. The first hookup circuit is in a second circuit area and configured to control connection between the bit line and the sense amplifier. The first wiring is connected between the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit. The first pre-charge circuit includes a first transistor in a third circuit area between the first circuit area and the second circuit area. The first transistor has a first end connected to the first wiring at a first position in the third circuit area and a second end connectable to a terminal supplied with one of a pre-charge voltage and a ground voltage.
