Semiconductor memory device
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory, a controller, and a sense amplifier. The memory includes a plurality of memory cells, wherein each of the memory cells can store a multi level indicating one data. The controller writes the multi level to one cell of the memory. The sense amplifier performs unary read of data from the multi level written in the one cell. The data is data in which an error of a predetermined lower significant bit is allowed. The controller reads data indicated by the multi level stored in the one cell of the memory from the sense amplifier.
