    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided. A cell array includes a DRAM cell connected to one of a pair of bit lines. A bit line sense amplifier is coupled to the pair of bit lines. The bit line sense amplifier discharges a low-level bit line of the pair of bit lines toward a ground level and clamps the low-level bit line to a boosted sense ground voltage in response to a control signal. A sense amplifier control logic generates the control signal having a pulse interval. The low-level bit line is discharged toward the ground level for the pulse interval and after the pulse interval ends, the low-level bit line is clamped to the boosted sense ground voltage.
