Abstract

A semiconductor storage device includes a connection transistor that connects a first wiring to a word line, a block decoder that supplies a signal to a gate of the connection transistor, and a voltage generation circuit including a first node from which a first voltage for generating the signal is supplied to the block decoder, a second node from which a second voltage is supplied to the first wiring, and a voltage difference generation circuit connected between the first node and the second node, wherein the voltage difference generation circuit includes diode-connected first and second transistors and a third transistor, each of the diode-connected first and second transistors having a current path connected between the first and second nodes, the third transistor having a first terminal connected to the first node, a gate connected to a gate of the second transistor, and a second terminal connected to the second node.
