A memory device includes a cell array including cells, an address transition detector outputting a transition detection signal as to whether an address of a write command is changed, and a control logic circuit generating one of word-line-on signals for performing a write operation on the cell array in response to the write command, and terminating the write operation in accordance with the transition detection signal. The word-line-on signals include a long-kept word-line-on signal that stays active before the address is changed and a divided word-line-on signal that is, before the address is changed, divided into sub-word-line-on signals.
