Semiconductor memory device and driving method thereof
Abstract:
In a reading operation, an off time and a reading time of a holding control transistor is controlled by a replica circuit, so that a read margin is enlarged. Furthermore, a high power source potential and a low power source potential of an SRAM memory cell are switched in reading and writing operations of the memory cell and in a data holding state by a power source potential switching portion. As a result, a write margin is enlarged, and a leakage current is reduced.
