Abstract
A memory cell () includes a read circuit () whose output wiring is a read bit line (RBIT) and which has a switching transistor (), a reset transistor (), and an output wiring driving transistor (). The switching transistor () connects a data holding node (MD) of a storage circuit () and a control line (DR) in accordance with a control signal on a read word line (/RWL). The reset transistor () resets the control line (DR) in accordance with a reset control signal (RST). The output wiring driving transistor () has a gate connected to the control line (DR), a drain connected to the read bit line (RBIT), and a source connected to a ground power supply.
