Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a word line drive circuit resetting the word line by driving the word line connected to a memory cell and switching a reset level of the word line drive circuit at the time of the reset operation of the word line. Further, a semiconductor device includes a memory cell array formed by arranging a plurality of memory cells and a reset level switch circuit for selecting a first potential or a second potential and supplying the first potential or the second potential to the word line drive circuit.
