Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array including memory cells of a first unit in which read and write are parallelly performed, n (n is a natural number of not less than 2) sense amplifiers, n detection circuits corresponding to the n sense amplifiers, an accumulator configured to divide the first unit data read from the memory cell array into z (z is a natural number) second unit data and accumulate a fail bit for which the write is incomplete for the second unit data, and a control circuit configured to control an operation of detecting the fail bit after the write.
