    Abstract: A semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array having a plurality of bit lines and a plurality of word lines arranged intersecting with the bit lines. A plurality of memory cells are arranged at intersections of the bit lines and the word lines, respectively. Word line selecting circuitry selects one of the word lines responsive to a row address and reads out to each of the bit lines information stored in the memory cell associated with the selected word line. A plurality of sense amplifiers are associated with corresponding rows of the memory for detecting and amplifying the information stored in respective memory cells. A first column selector circuit selects the sense amplifiers corresponding to a column address when the column address is applied and reads information held in the sense amplifier. Blocks are formed by dividing the memory cell array into groups of bit lines, each of the groups comprising a predetermined number of bit lines with block information transferred simultaneously from corresponding ones of the groups of bit lines of a selected block when the column address corresponding to the selected block is applied. Data registers hold information of an associated block. A second column selector reads data corresponding to the column address from the data register when the column address is applied.

    Abstract: A MOS dynamic type RAM comprises memory cells (10), dummy cells (11), bit line pairs (BL, BL), word lines (WL), dummy word lines (DWL) and sense amplifiers (12). In a non-active cycle, the potentials of each pair of bit lines (BL, BL) are precharged at 1/2 of a supply potential V.sub.CC. Each sense amplifier (12) operates in an active cycle following the non-active cycle, while each active pull-up circuit (13) pulls up the potential of a higher level one of the pair of bit lines to V.sub.CC. This active cycle is defined by an internal RAS internal signal, which is generated by a NAND circuit (27) in response to an external RAS signal and an RPW signal obtained by delaying the external RAS signal by a delay circuit (20) and having a trailing edge obtained by delaying the trailing edge of the external RAS signal by a prescribed period.

    Abstract: A dummy word line driving circuit for a MOS dynamic RAM comprises a dummy word line controller connected to each end of a pair of dummy word lines. A sub-decode signal which is opposite to the one inputted to a dummy word driver and a dummy set signal for writing a bit line information into a not-selected dummy cell are inputted to the dummy word line controller. Means for applying a dummy equalizing signal is connected to two full-sized dummy cells, for equalizing the two before the dummy word line is driven. The two full-sized dummy cells are equalized by the signal, resulting in a charge amount, which is to be a reference value, of a half of a full-sized memory cell.
