In order to improve ability for driving the potential of a read bit line (192) to a high level, an output terminal (201b) of a memory circuit (21) and a read word line (182) are connected input terminals (204, 205) of a NAND gate (15) respectively. A gate of a transistor (123) is connected to an output terminal (203) of the NAND gate (15) and its source is connected to a power supply line (111) to be supplied with a VDD potential, while its drain is connected to the read bit line (192). MOS transistors (133, 134) are connected in series between the bit line (192) and a grounding conductor (112). Gates of the transistors (133, 134) are connected to the output terminal (203) and the input terminal (205) of the NAND gate (15) respectively. Thus, a time for converting the output terminal from a low level to a high level is reduced, whereby an access time can be reduced. Other embodiments of the above described invention include different logic technologies used to construct the memory circuit (172).
