A power supply voltage control circuit supplying a power supply voltage to
a memory cell array, including word lines extending along row direction,
bit lines extending along column direction, plate lines extending along
the row direction, and a plurality of unit cells disposed at
intersections of word lines and bit lines, includes a word line control
circuit for supplying a first voltage to the word lines; and a plate line
control circuit for supplying a second voltage to the plate lines; and
the power supply voltage control circuit provides an amount of current
flow from the first voltage so as to keep the first voltage potential
almost constant during increasing a value of the second voltage in a
power-on sequence, firstly increasing a value of the higher voltage of
two potential voltages: the first voltage and the second voltage
capacitive coupled, and then increasing a value of the lower second
voltage.
