Abstract
A static random access memory (SRAM) is disclosed having a single bit line configuration. One memory cell includes access gate transistors Q5, Q6 connected in series between a data storage circuit 1 and a single bit line BL. In a writing operation, the gate electrodes of the transistors Q5, Q6 are boosted to a level exceeding the supply voltage by a X word line boosting circuit 7 and a Y word line boosting circuit 8 to bring the data storage circuit to an unstable data storage state in a memory cell selected by a row address signal and a column address signal. Data writing is carried out only in a desired memory cell, and erroneous data writing to other memory cells is prevented.
