A data memory circuit is provided including a plurality of depletion type MOS transistors connected in series, each of which stores data including two bits in the form of a threshold voltage. One end of the memory circuit is kept at a power source level and the second terminal thereof is kept at a ground potential level. 0 V is applied to the gate electrode of one selected MOS transistor while the power source voltage is applied to the gate electrodes of the remaining MOS transistors. As a result, a voltage equal to an absolute value of the threshold voltage of the selected MOS transistor is produced at the second terminal. A converter converts the voltage produced at the second terminal into corresponding binary coded data. |
