Abstract
A memory includes a bit line connected to a memory cell and a read circuit to execute reading of data from the memory cell. The read circuit includes a first circuit having a first input terminal and detecting an output signal from the memory cell, a first transistor to control a current supplied to the memory cell based on a first control signal, and a second transistor. One terminal of the first transistor is connected to the first input terminal, the other terminal of the first transistor is connected to one terminal of the second transistor, the other terminal of the second transistor is connected to the bit line, and the one terminal and the other terminal of the first transistor are charged before data is read from the memory cell.
