Abstract

A semiconductor memory device is provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory matrix having a plurality of memory cells arranged according to a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns and a plurality of bit lines, each bit line being associated with at least one respective column of said plurality. The semiconductor memory device further includes a bit line selection structure for selecting at least one among said bit lines and a voltage clamping circuit structure adapted to cause the clamping at a prescribed voltage of unselected bit lines adjacent and capacitively coupled to a selected bit line during a read operation.
