Synchronous semiconductor memory device capable of reducing power dissipation by suppressing leakage current during stand-by and in active operation

摘要

In a synchronous semiconductor memory device of the present invention, a main word driver and a sub decode driver have a function to take in a row decode signal in response to activation of a bank and to maintain the state of the row decode signal. Accordingly, of the circuits associated with row selection, a row pre-decoder, a row decoder and a row system control circuit can operate under a hierarchical power supply structure.
