Abstract:
1. A non-volatile semiconductor memory device comprising: a plurality of non-volatile semiconductor memory cells; an interface making data exchange with an external device to write/read data with respect to the non-volatile semiconductor memory cells; and a control circuit for controlling the non-volatile semiconductor memory cells, wherein the interface and the control circuit include a first read mode booted via a first bootstrap to read data from the non-volatile semiconductor memory cells for continuously outputting (N+M)-byte (N is the n-th power of 2, n is positive integers) data via the interface, and a second read mode booted via a second bootstrap to read data from the non-volatile semiconductor memory cells for continuously outputting K-byte (K is the k-th power of 2, k is positive integers) data via the interface.
