US Patent 7626872 Semiconductor memory device and its driving method

A semiconductor memory device includes a data transfer line for read, a data signal transfer unit, a reset controller, and a data signal transfer unit for write. The data signal transfer unit for read receives a first data signal corresponding to a read command via the data transfer line and outputs the first data signal. The reset controller resets the data transfer line in response to a reset signal. The data signal transfer unit for write receives a second data signal corresponding to a write command, and outputs the second data signal to the data transfer line. The data transfer line is reset in response to the reset signal.
