Abstract

A semiconductor memory device is provided with a clamp circuit for clamping a driving level of a write circuit so that the information on a bit line can be transmitted quickly to a data bus at the time of a read-out operation by using transistors having a low threshold value (or a large mutual conductance) for the transistors constituting a column transfer gate, and so that a write-in operation can be carried out at a high speed by using transistors having a large mutual conductance for driving transistors of the write circuit and setting a required level by clamping the driving level of the write circuit.
