Abstract
A semiconductor memory storage is disclosed, in which the gate of each of a plurality of n-channel transistors is connected to the corresponding one of a plurality of word lines on the output side of each word line driver. The source of the n-channel transistor is connected through a selective switching element to the gate of the corresponding one of a plurality of replica transistors connected to a dummy bit line. The gate of each replica transistor is connected to the corresponding one of discharge transistors. The dummy bit line is connected to a sense amplifier through a logic gate.
