A writing circuit for a nonvolatile memory has eight circuit units for bit parallel processing. Each circuit unit has 16 first D flip-flops for address 0 to address F, and one second D flip-flop. The eight circuit units hold in their own 16 first D flip-flops write data of 8 bits fed in bit parallel fashion with respect to each of the 16 addresses. The totally eight second D flip-flops simultaneously hold 8 bits of verify data read from memory cells in bit parallel fashion. In verify operation, in each of the eight circuit units, the write data held in the first D flip-flops are given 16 address attributes, respectively, and compared with the verify data held by the second D flip-flop in an address sequence of the 16 address attributes to make sure of coincidence between the data.
