Abstract
A NAND EEPROM is disclosed which is capable of variously setting, for each chip, the voltage to be applied to the control gates of memory cells. The semiconductor chip includes a NAND memory cell array and a high-voltage generating circuit for generating data writing internal voltage VPP required when data is written on the memory cell array. Moreover, the semiconductor chip includes a set voltage selection circuit for arbitrarily setting the level of the voltage VPP generated by the high-voltage generating circuit for each chip and a multiplexer for extracting, to the outside of the chip, setting signal LTF which is a signal for enabling the level of the voltage VPP set arbitrarily.
