Abstract
A level shifter K,receives a part of a precharge generation signal Sp, raises its level to a predetermined value, and transfers it to an NMOS transistor NT,. A capacitor Cp receives a part of the output of the level shifter K,, supplies it to a first electrode of a complementary amplifier composed of a PMOS transistor PT,and an NMOS transistor NT,, and pumps an operation power source to a predetermined value. The operation power source of the complementary amplifier is pumped by an electric charge charged in the capacitor Cp, and the level of a precharge control signal Spc is raised.
