A sense amplifier drive circuit has a sense amplifier amplifying data carried on a bit line and a bit line bar, a sense amplifier drive unit selectively applying an overdrive voltage or an internal power supply voltage to the sense amplifier, and a control signal generator combining a sense amplifier enable bar signal and a refresh enable signal, and generating control signals to control the sense amplifier drive unit. With the construction, an overdrive voltage is not supplied to the bit line and bit line bar during a refresh operation, and current consumption inevitably occurring during the refresh operation is much reduced.
