Abstract

In a storage device from which n bits of data are read at a time, data pieces whose logical bit positions are 0*8+k, 1*8+k, 2*8+k, 3*8+k, . . . , m*8+k (where k and m are natural numbers satisfying 0≦k≦7, 0 ≦m≦n/8−1) are stored in memory cells close to one another in a memory cell array, and the bit positions are shifted by a predetermined number of bits when data having a small number of significant bits is read from the memory cell array.
