Abstract

See full text

A variation in threshold of a memory cell is detected at a higher speed. A multi-valued nonvolatile semiconductor memory has a nonvolatile memory cell 41 for storing n-values (n.gtoreq.3) of data as thresholds in one cell, a reference signal generator 44 for emitting a reference signal group Vri (i.ltoreq.(n-1)), a reference signal group VriH(=Vri+.DELTA.V) and a reference signal group VriL(=Vri-.DELTA.V), a differential amplifier 43 for receiving either one of signals Vci (Vci
