Abstract
A boost subject circuit block selector supplies a supply voltage to a corresponding boost voltage transmission line when a block selecting signal is at non-selecting level, while supplying a boost voltage from a boost voltage generator when the block selecting signal is at a selecting level. The boost subject circuit block selector includes a transistor, which is turned on in response to the transition of the block selecting signal to selecting level so as to supply the boost voltage to the boost voltage transmission line, and a transistor, which is turned on in response to the transition of the block selecting signal to the non-selecting level so as to supply the supply voltage to the boost voltage transmission line.
