Abstract
An internal voltage generating circuit generates and supplies a boosted voltage higher than an internal power supply voltage, as an operating power supply voltage, to a sense amplifier in a read circuit for reading data of a memory cell. A bit line precharge current supplied via an internal data line is produced from the internal power supply voltage. It is possible to provide a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, which can perform a precise sense operation and an accurate reading of data even under a low power supply voltage condition.
