Abstract

A semiconductor memory device of the present invention has a write circuit and bit line coupled to the write circuit. Output from the write circuit is sent to corresponding bit line by a transfer gate. During data write term, a write voltage is applied to the bit line when writing a '0' and zero volts is applied to the bit line when writing a '1'. The bit line therefore is not left in a floating state when writing either a '0' or a '1'. A rise in voltage potential of a bit line due to noise is prevented from occurring, thereby eliminating data writing errors.
