Abstract

In an EEPROM capable of writing data in a page mode, an output portion of a Y decoder is provided with a column latch circuit for storing a Y gate line selected by a Y decoder at the time of writing data. The column latch circuit activates the Y gate line selected in response to the stored information at the cycle of verifying erasing and connects a memory cell connected to the Y gate line to a data output line. Thus, it can be determined whether the erased memory cell was surely erased or not in a page mode.
