Nonvolatile semiconductor memory device

摘要

The present invention provides a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of achieving the speeding-up of reading and a reduction in layout area. A control gate electrode of each of memory cell transistors employed in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to the present invention is configured so as to be capable of assuming a first power supply potential (VCC) and a second power supply potential (VPP) higher than the first power supply potential upon its operation. A second NMOS transistor is provided between the gate of a first NMOS transistor that drives a control gate electrode (WL) to the first power supply potential (VCC) and a control signal (/ER) connected to the gate thereof. The source of the second NMOS transistor is inputted with the control signal (/ER) and the drain thereof is connected to the gate of the first NMOS transistor. A PMOS transistor is provided in parallel with the first NMOS transistor. A transfer gate comprising these NMOS and PMOS transistors drives the control gate electrode (WL).
