    摘要: A semiconductor memory includes a memory cell including inverters (IN1, IN2), control transistors (T3, T4) that control the potential of a ground side terminal (N3) connected to the memory cell, and transfer transistors T1 and T2 that control transfer of data from bit lines (BL, /BL) to the memory cell. In writing data, the control transistors raise the potential of the ground side terminal (N3) to be higher than the ground potential by a predetermined potential. After the transfer transistors transfer data having a potential difference smaller than a potential difference between the power supply potential and the ground potential from the bit lines (BL, /BL) to the memory cell, and cause the memory cell to hold the data, the potential of the ground side terminal (N3) is decreased to the ground potential to write data. Since data written in the memory cell suffices to have a potential difference smaller than the potential difference between the power supply potential and the ground potential, the time required to drive the bit line having a large load capacitance is shortened, the power consumption is decreased, and the power consumption necessary for writing data in the memory cell is reduced.
