Abstract

Semiconductor memory devices are provided. Each of the semiconductor memory devices may include first and second memory cells. The first memory cell may be connected to a bit line and a complementary bit line. Moreover, each of the semiconductor memory devices may include a discharge circuit connected to the first memory cell via the bit line and the complementary bit line. The discharge circuit may be configured to discharge the first memory cell during a read or write operation of the second memory cell.
