Abstract:
A flash memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells; a bit line voltage control signal generator generating and outputting a bit line voltage control signal; and a page buffer unit connected to the memory cell array through a plurality of bit lines, and controlling voltage levels of the plurality of bit lines in response to the bit line voltage control signal output from the bit line voltage control signal generator, wherein the plurality of bit lines comprise a first bit line and a second bit line adjacent to the first bit line, wherein during a bit line pre-charging operation in which the first bit line is in a program inhibited state and the second bit line is in a programming state, the page buffer unit increases a voltage level of the first bit line in response to the bit line voltage control signal, wherein the increase in the voltage level of the first bit line causes a voltage level of the second bit line to increase, and wherein a voltage level of the bit line voltage control signal is not affected by a change in a power voltage of the flash memory device.

Abstract:
A flash memory device and a method of testing the flash memory device are provided. The flash memory device may include a memory cell array including a plurality of bit lines, a control unit configured to output estimated data and an input/output buffer unit including a plurality of page buffers. Each of the plurality of page buffers corresponds to one of the plurality of bit lines in the memory cell array and is configured to read test data programmed in at least a first page of a memory cell array, compare the read-out test data with the estimated data to determine whether the corresponding bit line is in a pass or failure state and output a test result signal. A voltage of the test result signal is maintained when test data of a second page of the memory cell array is read if the corresponding bit line in the first page is in a failure state.
