As the pre-charge potential for write global data buses (12, 13), a potential lower than the power supply voltage (Vii) for peripheral circuit by the threshold voltage (Vth) of a transistor is used. This suppresses disturbance in the potential of a pair of bit lines (18, 19) due to pre-charge operation. It suffices if the write global data buses are pre-charged to the potential lower than the power supply voltage (Vii) for peripheral circuit by the threshold voltage (Vth). This can reduce current consumption accordingly. By generating the pre-charge potential without using the power supply voltage (Viic) for core, adverse effects on sense operation can be avoided.
