Abstract

A storage circuit includes: the array of a memory cell MC including a variable-resistance element; a conversion circuit that converts the resistance value of each memory cell into the signal level of an electric signal; a reference signal generation circuit that generates a reference signal common to a plurality of columns; a correction circuit that corrects one of the signal level of the reference signal and the signal level of the electric signal for each column of the array of the memory cell; and an RW circuit that determines data stored in the memory cell belonging to a corresponding column by comparing one of the reference level and the signal level of the electric signal, corrected by the correction circuit, and the other of the reference level and the signal level of the electric signal.
