    摘要: Disclosed herein is a semiconductor integrated circuit device equipped with a memory circuit, which realizes the speeding up of its operation and low power consumption thereof in a simple configuration. At input/output nodes of a sense amplifier including a CMOS latch circuit for performing an amplifying operation in response to an operation timing signal, a pair of first precharge MOSFETs brought to an on state during a precharge period to thereby supply a precharge voltage, and select switch MOSFETs for connecting the input/output nodes and each complementary bit line pair in response to a select signal are provided. A second precharge MOSFET for short-circuiting the complementary bit line pair is provided between the complementary bit line pair. A memory array is provided which includes dynamic memory cells each comprising an address selecting MOSFET and a storage capacitor, each of which is provided between one of the complementary bit line pair and a word line intersecting it. The thickness of a gate insulating film for the second precharge MOSFET is formed thin as compared with that of a gate insulating film for the selecting MOSFETs.
