Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a bit line pre-charger and a buffer circuit. The bit line pre-charger is configured to charge at least one bit line when a first control signal has a first voltage level. The buffer circuit is configured to generate the first control signal. During a first standby period, the buffer circuit adjusts the first control signal to a second voltage level different from the first voltage level.
