    摘要: Reference cells are provided in a memory cell array. When the data is read, the data in the reference cells are inverted, thereby preventing the data in the selected cell from changing. This makes it possible to decrease the number of write operations and realize a high-speed read operation and lower power consumption.

    摘要: A Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) in which a data input/output buffer is connected between first data lines and second data lines. An equalizing circuit and a data latch circuit are connected to the second data lines. The equalizing circuit maintains the second data lines in reset condition, during normal operation. It temporarily releases the second data lines from the reset condition, in response to an output from an address-transition detecting circuit, thereby to transfer the data from the data input/output buffer. The data latch circuit latches the data transferred to the second data lines, in response to the output from the address-transition detecting circuit.
