Abstract
A multi-stage integrated decoder device has a special function which facilitates the simultaneous activation of a plurality and as many as all of its outputs. When it is used as a bit line decoder it is thus possible to activate a plurality and as many as all of the bit lines (including any redundant bit lines) of a block of storage cells of a semiconductor memory.
