A memory cell array includes a NAND string formed of a plurality of memory
cells coupled in series between a string selection transistor and a
ground selection transistor. The string selection transistor controls an
electrical connection between the NAND string and a bit line based on a
string selection voltage in a read operation. A row selection circuit is
coupled to the memory cell array through a string selection line, ground
selection line and a plurality of word lines. The row selection circuit
selects a word line which is coupled to the read memory cell among the
plurality of word lines based on a row address signal and a read voltage
in a read operation. A voltage generation circuit generates the string
selection voltage and the read voltage.
