Abstract

The semiconductor device has more-significant global data lines and less-significant data lines hierarchically formed, and switches for controlling the more-significant global data lines and the less-significant data lines to be connected each other. In addition, the semiconductor device has the unit for precharging the global data lines independently of the data lines.
