Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell, a bit line, and a sense amplifier. The sense amplifier includes: a first node configured to be electrically coupled to the bit line; a first transistor in which a gate is coupled to the first node, and which is configured to be coupled to a second node; a second transistor configured to couple the second node and a third node; and a third transistor in which a gate is coupled to the third node, and which is configured to be coupled to the first node. The sense amplifier applies a second voltage obtained by amplifying a first voltage of the first node to the third node, and applies a third voltage obtained by amplifying the second voltage to the first node.
