Abstract

Embodiments provide a read operation circuit, a semiconductor memory, and a read operation method. The read operation circuit includes: a data determination module configured to read read data from a memory bank, and determine whether to invert the read data according to the number of bits of low data in the read data to output global bus data for transmission through a global bus and inversion flag data for transmission through an inversion flag signal line; a data receiving module configured to determine whether to invert the global bus data according to the inversion flag data to output cache data; a parallel-to-serial conversion circuit configured to perform parallel-to-serial conversion on the cache data to generate output data of the DQ port; and a precharge module configured to set an initial state of the global bus to High.
