A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a readout circuit which reads data stored in a selected memory cell by applying predetermined voltage to the selected memory cell and a reference cell such that currents corresponding to the respective threshold voltage may flow, and comparing the current flowing in the selected memory cell with the current flowing in the reference cell. The readout circuit commonly uses the reference cell set in the same storage state for normal readout and for readout for program verification, and when the predetermined voltage is applied to the selected memory cell and the reference memory cell at the time of the readout for the program verification, it sets an applying condition to the reference memory cell such that its storage state may be shifted more in the program state direction than that in an applying condition at the time of the normal readout.

摘要:
In the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device of this invention, a program control circuit 1 sets the threshold value of a first reference cell RFC0 by means of a write circuit WC on the basis of a result of comparing the threshold value of the first reference cell RFC0 with the threshold value of a second reference cell SRC executed by a sense amplifier 8 for trimming. The compare of threshold values by the sense amplifier 8 for trimming can be executed within a shorter time than in the threshold value read operation of the first reference cell RFC0. Therefore, when the number of the first reference cells is increased, the threshold value adjustment time can be remarkably reduced in comparison with the prior art in which the threshold value of the first reference cell is adjusted by reading the first reference cell.
