ABSTRACT:
A differential amplifier having input terminals connected to first and second nodes lying between the main nonvolatile memory cell section and the nonvolatile dummy cell circuit is used as a sense amplifier. The first and second nodes are pre-charged to a high potential level prior to the data readout operation. The memory cell section and the dummy cell circuit are set in the capacitively balanced condition, thereby making it possible to correctly read out data at a high speed.
