wherein the page buffer circuit is configured using a switched capacitor circuit, and

the page buffer circuit comprises

a first capacitor connected to a sense terminal connected to one end of the latch circuit,

a second capacitor comprising one end connected to the bit line,

a first switch interposed between the sense terminal and the other end of the second capacitor,

a second switch interposed between the sense terminal and a supply voltage,
