Abstract

See full text

An electrically erasable non-volatile semiconductor memory device comprising a plurality of row lines and column lines, a plurality of memory cells connected in a matrix to the plurality of row lines and column lines, a selection circuit for selecting a desired one of the plurality of memory cells, and write-control circuit for writing data into the plurality of memory cells. The write-control circuit is adapted to preset at least four voltage signals having different voltage values, and to select one of four voltage signals according to a data signal externally applied thereto and applying the selected voltage signal to the selected memory cell. Also included is read-control circuit for reading out data written into the selected memory cell and converting the data read-out from the selected memory cell into a data signal corresponding to one of the four voltage signals.
