In an embodiment, a bit line sense amplifier of a semiconductor memory
device with an open bit line structure includes sense amplifier blocks,
first voltage drivers, and a second voltage driver. The sense amplifier
blocks include a first sense amplifier and a second sense amplifier, each
sensing and amplifying a signal difference between a bit line and a
complementary bit line. The first voltage drivers apply a power source
voltage to the first sense amplifier, and the second voltage driver
applies a ground voltage to the second sense amplifier. The first voltage
drivers are disposed for every two or more sense amplifier blocks in a
bit line sense amplifier region in which the sense amplifier blocks are
arranged, and the second voltage driver is disposed in a conjunction
region in which a control circuit is located to control the sense
amplifier blocks. Both capacitive noise and device size are minimized.
