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.

Abstract: An operating method of a nonvolatile memory device includes receiving, at the nonvolatile memory device, a suspend command, suspending, at the nonvolatile memory device, a program operation being performed, in response to the suspend command, receiving, at the nonvolatile memory device, a resume command, and resuming, at the nonvolatile memory device, the suspended program operation in response to the resume command. The program operation includes program loops, each of which includes a bit line setup interval, a program interval, and a verify interval. In the program interval of each of the program loops, a level of a program voltage to be applied to selected memory cells of the nonvolatile memory device increases as much as a first voltage. A difference between a level of the program voltage finally applied s suspend and a level of the program voltage applied first after resume is different from the first voltage.
