Semiconductor memory device

摘要

A semiconductor memory device has a memory cell array including memory cells; a reference current generating circuit which generates a reference current; a reference voltage generating circuit which generates a reference voltage in a reference node on the basis of the reference current generated by the reference current generating circuit; a first sense circuit which generates an output current on the basis of a cell current of the selected memory cell and which generates a data potential in a sense node on the basis of the output current and the reference current; and a second sense circuit which detects the data held in the selected memory cell by comparing the data potential in the sense node with the reference voltage in the reference node.
