ABSTRACT:
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes: cell strings connected to respective bit lines; each of the cell strings having a string select transistor connected to a string select line, a ground select transistor connected to a ground select line, and memory cells connected to corresponding word lines and connected in series between the string select transistor and the ground select transistor; a first voltage drop circuit configured to reduce an applied read voltage during a read operation; a second voltage drop circuit configured to reduce the applied read voltage; a string select line driver circuit configured to drive the string select line with the reduced voltage provided by the first voltage drop circuit; and a ground select line driver circuit configured to drive a ground select line with the reduced voltage provided by the second voltage drop circuit.
