Abstract

See full text

A word line activation signal generated by a timing generator is surely at L level in a prescribed period regardless of the power supply voltage. A row address signal delayed by a delay circuit in a row address buffer changes in a period in which the word line activation signal is at L level. Accordingly, even if skew occurs, a non-selected word line is never activated. Consequently, it is possible to prevent delay of access to a memory cell and erroneous writing to a memory cell.
