    摘要: A semiconductor memory has memory cells arranged in arrays, direct-type sense amplifiers arranged in each column of the memory cells, for writing and reading data to and from a memory cell to be accessed, column selection lines for selecting sense amplifiers that are in a column that involves the memory cell to be accessed, write-only column selection lines for selecting sense amplifiers that are in a row that involves the memory cell to be accessed if the memory cell is accessed to write data thereto, and local drivers. The sense amplifiers are grouped, in each row, into sense amplifier blocks. The write-only column selection lines consist of first selection lines for selecting sense amplifier blocks that are in the row that involves the memory cell to be accessed for data write and second selection lines for selecting sense amplifiers that are contained in the selected sense amplifier blocks. The local drivers apply a selection signal to the second selection lines according to a selection signal from the first selection lines. The write-only column selection lines are controlled by signals that are used to control the sense amplifiers.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising a circuit unit having a predetermined function such as a level shifter circuit or a driver transistor circuit by a combination of a plurality of transistors, is disclosed. Among a plurality of the transistors of the circuit unit, the source potential of at least one transistor adapted to turn off during the standby period of the circuit unit is changed. Preferably, the semiconductor integrated circuit is configured to reduce the sub-threshold current flowing between the source and the drain of at least one transistor adapted to turn off during the standby period of the circuit unit by changing the source potential at a timing based on the standby period of the circuit unit in such a manner that a predetermined bias voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the transistor.
