    摘要: There is provided a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device capable of securing sufficient read accuracy without providing superfluous sense time margin when there are variations in temperature and transistor characteristics. This nonvolatile semiconductor storage device includes a reference cell 2 whose threshold value is preparatorily set to a value between a lower limit of a threshold voltage distribution in a state 0 in which nonvolatile memory cells MC00 through MC12 have a high threshold value and an upper limit of a threshold voltage distribution in a state 1 in which the memory cells have a low threshold value. When the characteristics of the nonvolatile memory cells MC00 through MC12 shift due to the influence of a change in temperature or the like, the characteristics of the reference cell 2 shift so as to follow this characteristic shift. The operation timing of a sense amplifier section 8 in read operation is generated by a control circuit, and the timing of the termination of the sense operation from among the operation timing is determined by timing control circuit (delay circuit delay and AND circuits AN0 and AN1) with the termination of the sense of the reference cell 2.

    摘要: A control signal MBPRG is inputted to individual block decoders that constitute a block decoder section 37 of an ACT type flash memory. Then, the level of the control signal MBPRG is set to “H” to select all the blocks regardless of the contents of address signals a5 through a13, and one word line WL is selected from all the blocks by the addresses a0 through a4. By thus selecting one word line WL every block that is electrically separated by the select transistor and simultaneously applying a write voltage during the test to the same number of word lines WL as the number of blocks, the possible occurrence of a bad influence exerted on the other memory cells is prevented even when the memory cells in which a write operation during the test has been executed include a memory cell that has a negative threshold voltage.
