Abstract
A semiconductor device has a plurality of memory banks and a plurality of power supply circuits corresponding to the memory banks. Each of the memory banks is independently activated by an activating command. Given an externally supplied voltage, each of the power supply circuits outputs a predetermined internal supply voltage. Each power supply circuit has its output connected to the corresponding memory bank. In response to a command for activating one of the memory banks, the corresponding power supply circuit is activated while the remaining power supply circuits are deactivated.
