Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a driving circuit for a first word line comprising: a reference potential node supplied with a reference potential; first, second, third and fourth nodes; a first transistor having a source-drain path coupled between the first and second nodes and a gate coupled to the third node; a second transistor having a source-drain path coupled between the first and third nodes and a gate coupled to the second node; a third transistor having a source-drain path coupled between the third node and the reference potential node and a gate coupled to the second node; a fourth transistor having a source-drain path coupled between the first and fourth nodes and a gate coupled to the second node; a fifth transistor having a source-drain path coupled between the fourth node and the reference potential node and a gate coupled to the second node; and a pass transistor having a source-drain path between a voltage line and the first word line and having a gate coupled to the fourth node.
