Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device includes: a plurality of first reference cells that are connected in parallel, and are in an intermediate state between an erased state and a programmed state; a first current mirror circuit that generates a first mirror current proportional to a sum of currents flowing through the plurality of first reference cells in a state in which the plurality of first reference cells are selected; and a sense amplifier that, in a readout mode, generates a reference current based on at least the first mirror current, and reads out data stored in a memory cell by comparing a current flowing through the memory cell with the reference current.

Claim (Index 2):
The nonvolatile memory device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n at least one second reference cell in the erased state; a second current mirror circuit that generates a second mirror current proportional to a current flowing through the at least one second reference cell in a state in which the at least one second reference cell is selected; and a selection circuit that sets a selection state of the plurality of first reference cells and the at least one second reference cell such that, in the readout mode, the reference current is generated based on at least the first mirror current, and in a verify mode, the reference current is generated based on at least the second mirror current.
