A write area of the semiconductor memory device is divided into a predetermined number of blocks each of which is rewritable on an individual block basis. Write-protection information is simultaneously provided to a plurality of blocks that are arbitrarily designated from among the predetermined number of blocks so that the plurality of blocks are simultaneously subjected to the write-protection setting operation.
