Abstract

According to one embodiment, a memory device comprises a first memory cell configured to store data, a first word line connected to the first memory cell, a first circuit configured to supply a voltage to the first word line, a second circuit configured to control the first circuit, and a sequencer configured to control the first circuit and the second circuit. The sequencer, when data is written to the first memory cell, determines whether a condition is satisfied or not. The sequencer causes the second circuit to generate a first voltage, when the sequencer determines that the condition is not satisfied, and causes the second circuit to generate a second voltage which is higher than the first voltage, when the sequencer determines that the condition is satisfied.
