    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array, a page buffer circuit, and a counting circuit. The page buffer circuit includes a first and second page buffer columns connected to the memory cell array. The first page buffer column includes a first page buffer unit and the second page buffer column includes a second page buffer unit in a first stage. The first page buffer unit performs a first sensing operation in response to a first sensing signal, and the second page buffer unit performs a second sensing operation in response to a second sensing signal. The counting circuit counts a first number of memory cells included in a first threshold voltage region from a result of the first sensing operation, and counts a second number of memory cells included in a second threshold voltage region from a result of the second sensing operation.
