    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device includes a bit line, a memory cell transistor electrically connected to the bit line, and a sense amplifier that reads data from the memory cell transistor via the bit line. During an operation of determining first data and second data, while continuously applying a first voltage to a gate of the memory cell transistor, the sense amplifier first determines the first data based upon a second voltage, and then determines the second data based upon a third voltage lower than the second voltage.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory includes memory cells, a word line and bit lines of the memory cells, sense amplifiers connected to the bit lines, respectively, and a controller. Each sense amplifier includes first, second, and third transistors. The third transistor has one end connected to each of the first and second transistors, and the other end connected to a corresponding bit line. During a read operation, at a first time of a first period during which the controller applies a first read voltage to the word line, the controller applies a first voltage higher than ground voltage to the first transistor, and a second voltage to the second transistor. Also, at the first time, a first sense amplifier applies a voltage to a first bit line through its first and third transistors, and a second sense amplifier applies a voltage to a second bit line through the second and third transistors.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes: a first bit line; a first memory cell electrically coupled to the first bit line; and a first sense amplifier configured to sense and store data read out to the first bit line. The first sense amplifier includes a first latch circuit and a second latch circuit. In a program operation, each of the first and second latch circuits stores any one bit of program data. In a first verify operation, data is exchanged between the first latch circuit and the second latch circuit when performing the first verify operation for a first data.

    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device includes a first memory cell electrically connected to a first bit line and a first word line, a second memory cell electrically connected to a second bit line and the first word line, and a first circuit configured to supply voltages to the first word line. During a reading operation to read a page of memory cells including the first memory cell and the second memory cell, the first circuit supplies a first voltage to the first word line while the first memory cell is selected as a read target during a first time period, and supplies a second voltage greater than the first voltage to the first word line while the second memory cell is selected as a read target during a second time period that is different from the first time period, and directly thereafter, supplies the first voltage to the first word line.
