    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an apparatus comprising a small swing driver and a small swing repeater on data transfer wiring of a memory device. The small swing driver includes 1st pair of 1st-type p/n-MOS transistors and 2nd pair of 2nd-type p/n-MOS transistors. The small swing repeater includes 3rd pair of 1st-type p/n-MOS transistors and 4th pair of 2nd-type p/n-MOS transistors. In the small swing driver, positive power supply voltage and 1st step-down power supply voltage are applied to gate and source of 2nd-type p-MOS transistor of 2nd pair, and 2nd step-down power supply voltage is applied to 2nd-type p-MOS transistor of 2nd pair as backbias voltage. In the small swing repeater, 1st and 2nd step-down power supply voltages are applied to source and gate of 2nd-type p-MOS transistor of 4th pair. 2nd step-down power supply voltage is also applied to 2nd-type p-MOS transistor of 4th pair as backbias voltage.
