Abstract
A semiconductor storage device includes a first memory chip having a first memory cell, a first word line connected to the first memory cell, a first voltage step-up circuit, and a second voltage step-up circuit, and a second memory chip having a second memory cell, a second word line connected to the second memory cell, a third voltage step-up circuit, and a fourth voltage step-up circuit. During a read operation executed in the first memory chip, the first, second, and fourth voltage step-up circuits supply a first voltage to the first word line, and when a voltage of the first word line reaches a predetermined voltage, the first voltage step-up circuit continues to supply the first voltage to the first word line, and the second voltage step-up circuit and the fourth voltage step-up circuit stop supplying the first voltage to the first word line.
