A peripheral circuitry is provided adjacent to a memory array and conducts read
and write operations from and to the memory array. A power supply voltage line
and a ground line for supplying an operating voltage to the peripheral circuitry
supply a power supply voltage and a ground voltage, respectively. The power supply
voltage line and the ground line are arranged so that a magnetic field generated
by a current flowing through the power supply voltage line and a magnetic field
generated by a current flowing through the ground line cancel each other in the
memory array.
