ABSTRACT:
In a memory cell array which is constituted with flash memory, a pair of a positive memory cell and a negative memory cell, to which data with mutually opposite values are written, is plurally provided. Bit lines and I/O lines connected to the memory cells of a data reading object are charged, and then a potential WL of a word line connected to the data reading object memory cells is raised. Hence, currents flow in the data reading object memory cells in accordance with the data that were written, and consequently one of a potential BL and a potential BLN of the I/O lines begins to fall. When one of the potentials BL and BLN falls below the circuit threshold of a sense amplifier, reading data is established, and the established reading data is outputted as a sense amplifier output signal SAOUT.
