21. A memory device comprising:
a NAND type flash memory provided with a memory cell array wherein a plurality of electronically rewritable memory cells are placed in a matrix form;
a sense amplifier circuit provided with a plurality of sense amplifiers;
a controller which controls the NAND type flash memory device; and the controller having a data inversion control section which calculates a exclusive OR of a data couple of adjacent even and odd pages of the memory cell array and inverts the polarity of the data of the odd page or the even page so that the number of adjacent “1” data and “0” data becomes fewer.
