Semiconductor memory device having equalization terminated in direct response to a change in word line signal

摘要

A semiconductor memory device includes an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns; a plurality of word lines connected to the rows of the memory cells; a plurality of bit lines connected to the columns of the memory cells; word line selection means; bit line selection means; and equalizing means for equalizing the bit line to a desired voltage level in response to an address signal, and for terminating the equalization in response to change in a signal on a word line according to change in the address signal.
