Abstract
A semiconductor storage device is provided, the semiconductor storage device including: a resistance element configured to generate a reference potential to be supplied to a sense amplifier; and a switch unit having at least two states including a state in which the reference potential to be supplied to the sense amplifier is generated by injection of a current to the resistance element, and a state in which a reference potential generated outside the semiconductor storage device is supplied to the sense amplifier.
