    摘要: A word line driving circuit, which may include a read voltage generator and a word line driver. The read voltage generator may precharge a clamp capacitor with a power supply voltage to stably generate a read voltage in response to a read command. A capacitance of the clamp capacitor may be varied to compensate for a fluctuation of a power supply voltage level. The word line driver may distribute electric charges precharged in the clamp capacitor to a word line in response to a word line selecting signal. Therefore, the word line driving circuit may reduce unnecessary power consumption in a standby mode by operating the word line rapidly with charge sharing in a read mode.
