Abstract

There is provided a word-line driving circuit has: two P-channel type transistors which are connected in a flip-flop configuration and one of which is connected between a first power supply and a word line; an N-channel transistor which is connected between a signal obtained by decoding a low-order address and a gate of the above-mentioned one P-channel type transistor and which has its gate connected with a signal obtained by decoding a high-order address; a first NN-channel type transistor which is connected between a word line and a second power supply and which has its gate connected with the signal obtained by decoding a low-order address; and a second NN-channel type transistor which is connected between a word line and the second power supply and which has its gate connected with the signal obtained by decoding a high-order address.
