Abstract
Provided are a sub-amplifier, a switching device and a semiconductor device capable of simultaneously reading or writing many data items, while suppressing an increase in chip surface area, by using a single end signal line. A sub-amplifier SAP comprises: a first pre-charge circuitthat releases pre-charges of a pair of local wires LIOT/LIOB; a local inversion drive circuitthat, on the basis of a write signal WT, inverts and transfers write data to a sense amplifier SA from a main wire MIOB via one of the local wires LIOT/LIOB; a local non-inversion drive circuitthat, on the basis of the write signal WT, transfers the write data to the sense amplifier SA from the main wire MIOB via the other one of the local wires LIOT/LIOB; and a main inversion drive circuitthat, on the basis of a read signal RT, inverts and transfers read data to the main wire MIOB from one of the local wires LIOT/LIOB.
