Abstract
To one memory array, global signal input/output line pairs in two systems, a switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to a write buffer group alternately on a clock cycle basis, and another switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to an equalize circuit alternately on a clock cycle basis are provided. During one clock cycle, writing of data through one global IO line pair and equalization of the other global IO line pair can be carried out in parallel. Therefore, data can be written easily at a high frequency.
