The high voltage generation unit generates an erase voltage. The voltage level detection unit detects the erase voltage and generates a level detection signal. The level detection signal is activated when the erase voltage reaches a target voltage. The execution time checking unit generates an execution end signal that is activated in response to the lapse of an erase execution time from the activation of the level detection signal. The discharging unit discharges the erase voltage as a discharge voltage. The high voltage generation unit is disabled in response to the activation of the execution end signal, and the discharging unit is enabled in response to the activation of the execution end signal.

    摘要: A row decoder preventing leakage current and a semiconductor memory device including the same are provided. The row decoder includes an address decoder and a selection signal generator. The address decoder decodes a predetermined address signal and activates an enable signal. The selection signal generator electrically connects a boosted voltage node to an output node to activate a block selection signal when the enable signal is activated and electrically breaks a path between the boosted voltage node and the output node and a path between the boosted voltage node and a ground voltage node when the enable signal is deactivated. The selection signal generator includes a feedback circuit, a switch, and a direct current (DC) path breaker. The feedback circuit is electrically connected to the output node to generate an output voltage that varies with a voltage level of the block selection signal. The switch transmits the output voltage of the feedback circuit to the output node. The DC path breaker turns on the switch when the enable signal is activated and turns off the switch when the enable signal is deactivated. Accordingly, when a supply voltage applied to the semiconductor memory device is low, a DC path is broken in the row decoder, thereby preventing the leakage current.
