A voltage applying circuit is provided between a DC/DC converter which lowers a first voltage to generate a second voltage and a load circuit to which the second voltage is to be applied. The voltage applying circuit includes a first terminal to which the first voltage is to be applied, a second terminal connected to the load circuit, a plurality of capacitors, and a switch circuit. The switch circuit connects the capacitors in series between the first terminal and a point of a ground voltage, when the load circuit is in a standby state, and connects the capacitors in parallel between the second terminal and the point of the ground voltage, when the load circuit is in an active state.

A pump circuit includes first and second transistors connected between an input terminal and an output terminal, and a capacitor which is connected at its one end to the connection node of the first and second transistors. The pump circuit is responsive to control signals applied to the gate electrodes of the first and second transistors and another end of the capacitor to output from the output terminal a second voltage which is approximately equal to a first voltage applied to the input terminal. A back-gate voltage generating circuit which produces a third voltage which is less than the lower one of the first and second voltages. The third voltage is applied to at least the back gate of the second transistor which outputs the second voltage.

An analog synchronization circuit includes an input buffer which is supplied with an external clock signal, a delay monitor which is supplied with a clock signal output from the input buffer, an output buffer for outputting a clock signal synchronous with the external clock signal and two charge balance delay circuits. The two charge balance delay circuits are equivalent to delay lines in a mirror type delay locked loop. Each charge balance delay circuits operates once in two consecutive cycles of the external clock signal. The two charge balance delay circuits alternately operate and output signals of the charge balance delay circuits are supplied to the output buffer via an OR gate. First and second capacitors are provided in each charge balance delay circuits. A first current source circuit charges the first capacitor for a time equivalent to a delay time of a forward pulse. The second capacitor is charged by a second current source circuit. A comparator compares charge voltages of the first and second capacitors with each other and generates a timing signal when both charge voltages coincide with each other.

Where a first bit line pair comprises a first bit line and a second bit line, a first memory cell is located at an intersection between a selected word line and the first bit line. Where a second bit line pair comprises a third bit line and a fourth bit line, a second memory cell is located at an intersection between the selected word line and the fourth bit line. A data line pair comprises a first data line and a second data line. A first column switch comprises a first transistor connected between the first bit line and the first data line and a second transistor connected between the second bit line and the second data line. A second column switch comprises a third transistor connected between the third bit line and the first data line and a fourth transistor connected between the fourth bit line and the second data line. A column decoder turns on one of the first column switch and the second column switch in a normal-write mode, and turns on both the first column switch and the second column switch in a block-write mode. In the block-write mode, a potential of the first bit line and a potential of the fourth bit line are complementary to each other. Identical data is written to the first memory cell and the second memory cell.
