Parasitic capacitances formed between bit lines to which signals are to be read out of memory cells and a signal transmission line arranged above them are to be reduced. Second complementary global bit lines for transmitting data read out of memory cells MC via complementary bit lines are arranged above a memory cell array. Each second global bit line is so arranged that a triangle having as its vertexes the center of the section of one of the complementary bit lines, that of the section of the other and that of the section of the second global bit line arranged directly above these complementary bit lines be an isosceles triangle.

A logic circuit is provided for a memory device which can be operated at a high speed with a lower voltage power source level than conventional devices. This logic circuit can be used in a multi-bit test circuit executing the wired-OR-logic operation of complementary logic signals from a plurality of pre-sense amplifiers, receiving the output of the wired-OR-logic operation by an emitter follower using a bipolar transistor, and outputting an AND signal of the complementary logic signals by a level comparing circuit. A sense amplifier is also provided for executing the wired-OR-logic operation of complementary logic signals from a plurality of pre-sense amplifiers, raising the level of the output of the wired-OR-logic operation by a level shift circuit having a semiconductor element for applying an inverse bias potential to an input signal, executing the wired-OR-operation of the shifted up output and outputs from other blocks, and receiving and amplifying the output of the wired-OR-logic operation.

There is provided a method of controlling an internal address signal of an RAM in which a late-write method is realized on a chip. Two sets of address registers for reading and writing are provided for each address and further a middle register is provided between the two sets of address registers. The middle register is controlled by a signal formed by obtaining the AND result of a clock signal and a write enable signal and the two sets of address registers for reading and writing are controlled only by the clock signal. A selection circuit selects outputs of the two sets of address registers as an input in accordance with the write enable signal to control an internal address.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is divided into a plurality of blocks, which are individually equipped with signal generate units such that the signal generate units are distributed in the semiconductor integrated circuit device. The semiconductor integrated circuit device is preferably constructed to generate the pulse signal by the pulse generate units which are provided for the individual blocks, after all initial logic operations on the data and control signals have been taken. Thanks to this construction, an SRAM, for example, can have its write recovery time minimized to 0 so that it can achieve high-speed operations. Moreover, since predecoders are provided for the individual blocks, the wiring line number and area in the chip can be reduced to improve the degree of integration of the semiconductor integrated circuit device. Still moreover, signal delay and skew can be reduced in the chip so that high-speed can be achieved. Another feature is that either the input/output pads of the data into or out of the semiconductor integrated circuit device or their accompanying circuit units are distributed in the semiconductor integrated circuit device. The individual features described above can be used solely or in combination, if necessary, to achieve the above-specified objects.
