ABSTRACT:
There is a provided non-volatile semiconductor memory device including a memory cell including a source, a drain, a floating gate, and a control gate. To read out data from the memory cell, a voltage of not more than 2 V, obtained by decreasing an external power source voltage, is applied to the drain of the memory cell. Various constants of the memory cell are set so as to control an ON current to be not more than 300 .mu.A when the memory cell is placed in an ON state while a threshold voltage of the memory cell is low.
