Bit line sensing control circuit for a semiconductor memory device

摘要

A bit-line sensing control circuit includes a first circuit for activating a word line and a bit line associated with a first block of a memory cell array in response to a first initial activating clock. A delay circuit generates a second initial activating clock from the first initial activating clock a predetermined period after the first initial activation clock. A second circuit for activating a word line and a bit line associated with a second block of the memory cell array is initiated in response to the second initial activating clock. Because the second block of memory cells are sensed after the first block of memory cells, spike noise related problems are substantially avoided.
