Abstract
An improved data transmission circuit for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) dynamic random access memory devices having a data input buffer for converting transistor-transistor logic (TTL) input data signals to CMOS logic level true and complement data signals is described. The data transmission circuit includes a pair of transmission gates for transferring the true and complement data signals in a write cycle, a pair of inverting stages connected between respective ones of the transmission gates and true and complement input/output (I/O) bus lines for inverting data signals from the transmission gates to provide the inverted data signals to true and complement I/O bus lines in the write cycle and an equalizing stage for precharging and equalizing true and complement I/O bus lines in a precharge cycle. The data transmission circuit is characterized in that each of the inverting stages can operate under the control of a block selecting clock signal regardless of the precharging voltages of the true and complement I/O bus lines.
