    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of wordline driving circuits adapted to control the voltage level of a sub-wordline in response to a logic state of a global wordline and an address signal. The wordline driving circuit comprises first and second transistors configured to maintain the sub-wordline at a first voltage level when the global wordline and the address signal have a first logic state and at a second voltage level when the global wordline or the address signal have a second logic state.
