Abstract
An electronic device includes a semiconductor memory. The semiconductor memory includes a bit line, a word line crossing the bit line, and a memory cell coupled to and disposed between the bit line and the word line. In a read operation, when the word line, which is in a precharged state, is floated, the bit line is driven to increase a voltage level of the bit line, and stopped when the memory cell is turned on.
