Abstract:
A relative magnitude relation of a threshold voltage of a main cell and a threshold voltage of a monitor cell is not considered in the prior art documents. Therefore, there still is room for improvement in correctly reading out data of the main cell. Provided is a memory device with a main memory and a monitor memory having a plurality of memory cells respectively. The memory device reads out the plurality of memory cells of the main memory at a third threshold voltage if a result of reading out the plurality of memory cells of the monitor memory at a second threshold voltage does not satisfy a predetermined first criterion. Here, the third threshold voltage is lower than a first threshold voltage, the second threshold voltage is higher than the first threshold voltage, and the first threshold voltage is a read-out threshold voltage of the main memory in normal operation.

Claim (Index 4):
The memory device according to  claim 1 , wherein before reading out the plurality of memory cells of the monitor memory at the second threshold voltage, the plurality of memory cells of the main memory is read out at the first threshold voltage.
