Abstract
A dynamic random access memory device includes a circuit for generating sense amplification activation signals applied to sense amplifier circuits. The circuit changes the slopes of the activation signals according to variation of a power supply voltage. According to the present invention, the peak current the sense amplifier circuits use when the power supply voltage increases, is reduced, so that the sense amplifier circuits create less noise in the memory device.
