ABSTRACT:
In a nonvolatile semiconductor memory having a two-stage sense read circuit using a level shift circuit and a single-end sense amplifier, relationships of sizes of a main memory cell bit line charge transistor, a main memory cell bit line transfer gate transistor, a main memory cell bit line load transistor, a dummy cell bit line charge transistor, a dummy cell bit line transfer gate transistor, and a dummy cell bit line load transistor are set to simultaneously satisfy conditions for equalizing a bit line and a dummy cell bit line and conditions for equalizing a sense line and a dummy cell sense line. Therefore, the potentials of the bit line and the dummy cell bit line and the potentials of the sense line and the dummy cell sense line can be simultaneously equalized, and a high-speed read operation can be achieved.
