Abstract
A BL kicker circuit includes first capacitors each of which is connected at one end to a first bit line which is one of bit lines of a corresponding pair and commonly connected at the other end, second capacitors each of which is connected at one end to a second bit line which is the other one of the bit lines of a corresponding pair and commonly connected at the other end, a first driver circuit having an output node for a first signal connected to the common connection node of the other ends of the first capacitors, a second drive circuit having an output node for a second signal connected to the common connection node of the other ends of the second capacitors, and a switch circuit used as an equalizing circuit connected between the output node for the first signal and the output node for the second signal.
