Abstract:
Even when a driven circuit has a large-scale load, a small-scale step-down driver circuit can supply an internal potential to the driven circuit at high speed. A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a step-down driver circuit which supplies, to a driven circuit to be driven by an internal potential lower than an external potential supplied from an external power supply, the internal potential. The step-down driver circuit includes an NMOS transistor having a drain coupled to an external power supply terminal to be coupled to the external power supply and a source to be coupled to a voltage supply point of the driven circuit and a driver circuit to drive the gate of the NMOS transistor.

Claim (Index 7):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n an external power supply terminal to be coupled to an external power supply; a plurality of bit line pairs to be coupled with memory cells; a plurality of sense amplifier circuits with which the bit line pairs are respectively provided; a shared source line on a high potential side and a shared source line on a low potential side to be coupled with the sense amplifier circuits; and a sense amplifier driver circuit to supply a potential to the shared source line on the high potential side, wherein the sense amplifier driver circuit includes an NMOS transistor having a drain coupled to the external power supply terminal and a source coupled to the shared source line on the high potential side and a first PMOS transistor having a source coupled to a first potential point with a first potential lower than the external potential supplied from the external power supply terminal and a drain coupled to the shared source line on the high potential side, and wherein the first potential is a power supply potential of the sense amplifier circuit.
