    摘要: The flash memory device includes a control logic circuit and a bit level conversion logic circuit. The control logic circuit programs first through Nth bits of data in a memory cell array of the N-bit MLC flash memory device or reads the first through Nth bits of the data from the memory cell array in response to one of a program command and a read command. The bit level conversion control logic circuit, after the first through Nth bits of the data are completely programmed or read, programs or reads an (N+1)th bit of the data in response to a control signal. The bit level conversion control logic circuit converts voltage levels of voltages, which are used for programming or reading the first through Nth bits of the data, to program or read for 2N cell distributions of 2N+1 cell distributions corresponding to the (N+1)th bit of the data and then programs or reads for other 2N cell distributions.

The nonvolatile memory device includes a first controller configured to allocate one of 2N threshold voltage states to N-bit data where N is 2 or a natural number greater than 2, a second controller configured to set a difference between adjacent threshold voltage states among the 2N threshold voltage states so that the difference increases as a threshold voltage increases, and a programming unit configured to form a threshold voltage distribution state corresponding to the allocated threshold voltage state and to program the N-bit data to a multi-level cell. The second controller controls the difference between the adjacent threshold voltage states to equalize the number of read errors for all intersections among the 2N threshold voltage states at the end of life.
