    Abstract: To operate a memory device including a plurality of NAND strings, an unselected NAND string among a plurality of NAND strings is floated when a voltage of a selected word line is increased such that a channel voltage of the unselected NAND string is boosted. The channel voltage of the unselected NAND string may be discharged when the voltage of the selected word line is decreased. The load when the voltage of the selected word line increases may be reduced by floating the unselected NAND string to boost the channel voltage of the unselected NAND string together with the increase of the voltage of the selected word line. The load when the voltage of the selected word line is decreased may be reduced by discharging the boosted channel voltage of the unselected NAND string when the voltage of the selected word line is decreased. Through such reduction of the load of the selected word line, a voltage setup time may be reduced and an operation speed of the memory device may be enhanced.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device may include a plurality of memory planes and a plurality of plane-dedicated pad sets. The plurality of memory planes may include a plurality of memory cell arrays including nonvolatile memory cells and a plurality of page buffer circuits. Each of the plurality of page buffer circuits may be connected to ones of the nonvolatile memory cells included in each of the plurality of memory cell arrays through bitlines. A plurality of plane-dedicated pad sets may be connected to the plurality of page buffer circuits through a plurality of data paths respectively such that each of the plurality plane-dedicated pad sets is dedicatedly connected to each of the plurality of page buffer circuits. A bandwidth of a data transfer may be increased by reducing a data transfer delay and supporting a parallel data transfer, and power consumption may be decreased by removing data multiplexing and/or signal routing.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory device includes changing a first read voltage, which determines a first voltage state or a second voltage state, to a voltage within a first range and determining the voltage as a first select read voltage, and changing a second read voltage, which is used to determine whether the data stored in the memory cells is a third different voltage state or a fourth different voltage state, to a voltage within a second different range and determining the voltage as a second select read voltage. The first voltage state overlaps the second voltage. The third voltage state overlaps the fourth voltage state. A difference between a voltage at an intersection of the third and fourth voltage states and the second read voltage is greater than a difference between a voltage at an intersection of the first and second voltage states and the first read voltage.
