1. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
a power supply circuit which generates a write current;
a write line to which a logic state is transferred;
a first pass transistor connected between the power supply circuit and the write line; and
a first register which connects to the write line, receives the logic state of the write line in an input state, stores the received logic state in a storage state, and controls an on/off state of the first pass transistor on the basis of the stored logic state.
