Abstract

In one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes memory cell transistors, and a word line electrically connected to the memory cell transistors. The device further includes a voltage generator configured to generate a first voltage transferred to the word line, the voltage generator including a voltage divider configured to divide the first voltage with first and second resistance elements, the first or second resistance element being a variable resistance element that receives a first digital signal indicating a resistance value and is changeable to the resistance value. The device further includes a control unit configured to output the first digital signal, wherein the control unit outputs the first digital signal such that a theoretical waveform of the first voltage in boosting the first voltage in an erasing verifying operation is different from a theoretical waveform of the first voltage in boosting the first voltage in a reading operation.
