Abstract
Word lines are driven by respective word line driving circuits in a row selector. Bank selection line driving circuits for driving respective bank selection lines of memory cell arrays are arranged on one side of the first memory cell array and between the adjacent memory cell arrays. The bank selection line driving circuits corresponding to the respective memory cell arrays are connected in series from a row selector side. The bank selection line driving circuits drive the bank selection lines of the corresponding memory cell arrays respectively.
