ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device of the invention comprises a memory cell array which includes a first region that has a plurality of memory cells each capable of storing n-bit data (n is a natural number) and a second region that has a plurality of memory cells each capable of storing k-bit data (k>n: k is a natural number), a data storage circuit which includes a plurality of data caches, and a control circuit which controls the memory cell array and the data storage circuit in such a manner that the k-bit data read from the k
number of memory cells in the first region are stored into the data storage circuit and the k-bit data are stored into the memory cells in the second region.
