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.
