Provided is a semiconductor memory device, which realizes characteristic evaluation even in a case where a threshold voltage is a negative potential by a test method which is similar to a case of a positive potential. The semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cells for storing data. When a test signal is input, the semiconductor memory device changes from a normal mode to a test mode for evaluating characteristics of the plurality of memory cells. The semiconductor memory device also includes: a memory cell selecting portion for selecting a memory cell; a constant voltage portion for generating a reference voltage; a constant current portion for generating a reference current; an X switch voltage switching control circuit for supplying one of an X selection signal and a voltage signal input from an external terminal to a gate of the memory cell; a Y switch portion for supplying the reference current to a drain of the memory cell selected by a Y selection signal; a comparator for detecting whether or not a drain voltage that is a voltage of the drain has exceeded the reference voltage; and a decision level changing portion for adjusting a current value of the reference current and a voltage value of the reference voltage so as to change a decision level of the comparator based on a control signal in the test mode.
