Abstract
A memory core includes a first sub-memory array including a plurality of first memory cells, a second sub-memory array including a plurality of second memory cells, a bit line amplification circuit configured to amplify a voltage difference between the first bit line and the second bit line, and a column selection circuit including a first column selection transistor and a second column selection transistor, wherein the first and the second selection transistors share a drain and electrically couple the complementary bit line pair to a complementary local input/output line pair, respectively. As a result, the data error due to the distance mismatching can be reduced.
