Abstract
A semiconductor memory device is provided with a plurality of memory blocks including a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit line pairs intersecting the individual word lines, a plurality of memory cells provided at each of intersections where the individual word lines intersect the bit line pairs, and a plurality of sense amplifiers respectively provided in correspondence with the bit line pairs. The semiconductor memory device further comprises common data bus line pairs each connected via switch transistors to the corresponding memory blocks, a read/write amplifier for performing a data read/write operation through the common data bus line pairs on the memory blocks, and an SRAM cell electrically connected via switch transistors to each common data bus line pair.
