    Abstract: A voltage level shifter cell, which is configured to convert voltage levels of input signals of multi-bits, includes: a first circuit area including a first voltage level shifter configured to convert a 1-bit first input signal from among the input signals; and a second circuit area including a second voltage level shifter configured to convert a 1-bit second input signal from among the input signals, wherein the first circuit area and the second circuit area share a first N-well to which a first power voltage is applied, and the first circuit area and the second circuit area share a second N-well to which a second power voltage is applied, wherein the first N-well is formed to extend in a first direction, and the first N-well and the second N-well are arranged to overlap in a second direction crossing the first direction.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array including normal memory cells and redundant memory cells; first page buffers connected to the normal memory cells through first bit lines including a first bit line group and a second bit line group and arranged in a first area corresponding to the first bit lines in a line in a first direction; and second page buffers connected to the redundant memory cells through second bit lines including a third bit line group and a fourth bit line group and arranged in a second area corresponding to the second bit lines in a line in the first direction, wherein, when at least one normal memory cell connected to the first bit line group is determined as a defective cell, normal memory cells connected to the first bit line group are replaced with redundant memory cells connected to the third bit line group.

    Abstract: Provided are a memory device skipping a refresh operation and an operating method thereof. The memory device includes a memory cell array including N rows; a refresh controller configured to control a refresh operation for the N rows of the memory cell array based on a refresh command; and an access information storage circuit including a plurality of registers configured to store flag information corresponding to each of the N rows, wherein a first value indicates rows that have been accessed, and a second value indicates rows that have not been accessed. The refresh controller is further configured to control whether the refresh operation is performed for a first row of the N rows at a refresh timing for the first row based on the flag information corresponding to the first row.
