Abstract
A data bus discharging circuit capable of enabling the high-speed operation of a microprocessor, includes a control signal generating circuit which provides control signals, a precharge/enable signal generating circuit which provides a precharge control signal and an enable signal, a discharge detecting circuit which detects small changes in the potential of the bit lines of the data bus, and a discharging circuit which sets the bit lines of the data bus selectively at a ground potential in response to the discharge detecting circuit.
