Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes first and second digit lines, a sense amplifier configured to amplify a potential difference between the first and second digit lines, a driver circuit configured to drive each of the first and second digit lines to different one of first and second logic levels from each other, a first transistor coupled between the driver circuit and the first digit line, a second transistor coupled between the driver circuit and the second digit line, and a control circuit configured to supply a first potential to control electrodes of the first and second transistors in response to a write command, and supply a second potential different from the first potential to the control electrodes of the first and second transistors in response to a read command.
