Abstract

See full text

In a static RAM having an internal low voltage transformation circuit, a word line drive circuit is provided which applies a low voltage, from an internal low voltage transformation circuit to a word line during read-out to improve the static RAM operating margin. The internal low voltage transformation circuit is formed by a reference voltage supply circuit and an internal voltage control circuit. A data hold voltage is supplied, when the static RAM is operating at a lower voltage, by a power pull-down device having a lower power consumption than the internal low voltage transformation circuit so as to achieve power consumption savings.
