    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method of programming selected memory cells to a plurality of target states comprises applying a first verification voltage to the selected memory cells to perform a verification read operation on memory cells programmed to at least one target state, applying a program voltage to the selected memory cells, and applying a second verification voltage lower than the first verification voltage to the selected memory cells to perform a verification read operation on memory cells programmed to the at least one target state, wherein the second verification voltage is provided in a specified program loop and subsequent program loops. The second verification voltage is set such that a number of slow bits in the at least one target state is different from the number of slow bits in another target state.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array that stores data, and control logic. The control logic is configured to control a read operation, a program operation, or an erase operation on the data. The control logic is configured to detect a first power noise based on one of voltage sources to be provided to the memory cell array and a first reference voltage and detect a second power noise based on the one voltage source of the voltage sources and each of the first reference voltage and a second reference voltage. The control logic is configured to determine whether to perform at least one of an operation period of the read operation, an operation period of the program operation, or an operation period of the erase operation, based on whether at least one of the first and second power noises is detected.
