Abstract

A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell including a first memory unit and a second memory unit which are coupled to a complementary bit line pair, an operation controller configured to successively select the first memory unit and the second memory unit, during a read operation which reads data from the memory cell, a first readout unit coupled to one of the bit line pair, and configured to judge a logical value of the data read from the selected first memory unit onto the one of the bit line pair, and a second readout unit coupled to the other of the bit line pair, and configured to judge a logical value of the data read from the selected second memory unit onto the other of the bit line pair.
