Abstract

According to one embodiment, a bit line negative potential circuit includes a bit line capacitance compensation capacitor which compensates the capacitance of a bit line and a peripheral capacitance compensation capacitor which compensates the peripheral capacitance of the bit line. After the bit line is switched to a low potential, the bit line is driven based on a charging voltage of the bit line capacitance compensation capacitor and the peripheral capacitance compensation capacitor.
