NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a large-capacity semiconductor storage device which can be made compact and low in cost, and which attains a start time and an access time which are short. SOLUTION: The semiconductor storage device includes an error correction circuit which performs error detection/correction on the data stored in a non-volatile semiconductor memory, and a plurality of buffers. Transferring of the data after error detection/correction by the error correction circuit to a host from one of the plurality of buffers through an interface control circuit and transferring the other data for error detection/correction by the error correction circuit, to the other one of the plurality of buffers from the non-volatile semiconductor memory are performed in parallel.
