Dynamic semiconductor memory device

Abstract

Abstract A dynamic semiconductor memory device provides a selected real cell which is connected to one of a pair of bit lines connected to a sense amplifier and a dummy cell which is connected to the other bit line so as to perform the read-out operation. The dynamic semiconductor memory cell further provides an active restore circuit for pulling up the bit line potential of the bit line on the higher potential side of the pair of bit lines, in which the potential difference is increased by the read-out operation, or a write circuit for charging the selected real cell through the bit line. A test power source pad is provided in the active restore circuit or the write in circuit so that when the reference level of the read cell is tested, an optional power source can be applied from the test power source pad instead of from a normal power source.
