A non-volatile semiconductor device has a memory cell array having electrically erasable programmable non-volatile memory cells, reprogramming and retrieval circuits that temporarily store data to be programmed in the memory cell array and sense data retrieved from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has first and second latches that are selectively connected to the memory cell array and transfer data. A controller controls the reprogramming and retrieval circuits on a data-reprogramming operation to and a data-retrieval operation from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a multilevel logical operation mode and a caching operation mode. In the multilevel logical operation mode, re-programming and retrieval of upper and lower bits of two-bit four-level data is performed using the first and the second latches to store the two-bit four-level data in one of the memory cells in a predetermined threshold level range. In the caching operation mode, data transfer between one of the memory cells selected in accordance with a first address and the first latch is performed while data transfer is performed between the second latch and input/output terminals in accordance with a second address with respect to one-bit two-level data to be stored in one of the memory cells.

A non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a data hold circuit, and a controller A program control function applies a program voltage to a selected memory cell to let data shift from a first logic state to a second logic state. A program verify control function verifies that a programmed data of the selected memory cell shifted to the second logic state. An erratic program verify control function checks that a threshold voltage of a memory cell to be held in the first logic state does not exceed a third value set as an upper limit value of a variation of the first logic state. An over-program verify control function checks that a threshold voltage of the selected memory cell shifted to the second logic state does not exceed a fourth value set as an upper limit thereof.
