SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY APPARATUS HAVING A PRE-DISCHARGING FUNCTION, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SAME

摘要

A semiconductor memory apparatus includes a bit line coupled to a plurality of memory cells, a discharge controller configured to generate a bit line discharge signal to pre-discharge the bit line before the memory cells are activated, and a bit line discharge block coupled to the bit line and configured to discharge the bit line in response to the bit line discharge signal.
