A multilevel sense device for a flash memory according to the invention is disclosed. When reading multilevel digital data stored in a selected cell of a primary cells array, the primary cells array generates and transmits a sense current to a sense amplifier. Then, the sense current is compared with permanent currents pre-established by a reference cells array thereby to determine/fetch the digital data. Furthermore, in the multilevel sense device, multilevel digital data stored in a selected cell are totally read out in one time. This causes more reading time saved.
