Abstract:
A flash memory device controls a common source line voltage and performs a program verify method. A plurality of memory cells is connected between a bit line and the common source line. A data input/output circuit is connected to the bit line and is configured to store data to be programmed in a selected memory cell of the plurality of memory cells. The data input/output circuit maintains data to be programmed within the data input/output circuit during a program verify operation, and decreases noise in the common source line by selectively precharging the bit line based on the data to be programmed.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of storing configuration data regarding an operating environment of a flash memory device, which includes a memory cell array having an electrical fuse (E-Fuse) block for storing the configuration data. The method includes storing the configuration data in multiple strings of the E-Fuse block, each string including multiple memory cells configured to store one bit.
Abstract:
Provided are a flash memory device and a method of driving the same for improving reliability of stored set information. The method of driving the flash memory device includes applying power to the flash memory device, the flash memory device having a memory cell array for storing set information regarding operation environment settings, where the set information includes at least one bit. The method further includes performing an initial read operation on the memory cell array and judging a status of data, corresponding to the set information, read during the initial read operation to determine whether the initial read operation has passed or failed. Each bit of the set information is extended to n bits (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 2). The n bits are respectively stored in different input/output regions in the memory cell array.

Abstract:
A flash memory device includes a chip disable fuse circuit that has a fuse and that outputs a chip disable signal when the fuse is cut out, and a ready/busy control circuit that forcibly activates a ready/busy signal representing an internal operational state in response to the chip disable signal and externally outputs the ready/busy signal through a ready/busy output pin.
Abstract:
A memory system includes a flash memory and a memory controller configured to control the flash memory. The memory controller determines whether program data provided from a host are all stored in the flash memory during a program operation. When the determination result is that the program data are all stored in the flash memory, the memory controller controls the flash memory to execute a dummy program operation for the next wordline of a final wordline in which the program data are stored.
