A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array having memory cells, a row decoder circuit connected to the memory cells through word lines, a page buffer circuit connected to the memory cells through bit lines, and a control circuit controlling the row decoder circuit and the page buffer circuit to repeatedly perform an erase loop including an erase and an erase verification with respect to the memory cells. The control circuit is configured to select one of an increase and a decrease of an erase voltage according to a result of the erase verification of a current erase loop and apply the controlled erase voltage to the memory cells in the erase operation of a subsequent erase loop.

A method is for programming a memory block of a non-volatile memory device. The non-volatile memory device is operatively connected to a memory controller, and the memory block defined by a plurality of word lines located between a string select line and a common source line corresponding to the string select line. The method includes programming a first sub-block of the memory block, determining in the non-volatile memory device when a reference word line is programmed during programming of the first sub-block, and partial erasing a second sub-block of the memory block upon determining that the reference word line is programmed during programming of the first sub-block.

Within a non-volatile memory device, a read operation directed to a nonvolatile memory cell having a positive threshold voltage applies a positive read voltage to a selected word line and a first control signal to a page buffer connected to a selected bit line, but if the memory cell has a negative threshold voltage the read operation applies a negative read voltage to the selected word line and a second control signal to the page buffer different from the first control signal.

Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for improving the receive (Rx) sensitivity of a portable Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID). The portable RFID reader/writer is equipped with a variable phase shifter which is connected between an antenna and a directional coupler and then changes an impedance in the direction of the antenna in response to controlling a phase shift, a level of a reflection signal if a transmit (Tx) signal of the portable RFID reader/writer reflected by the antenna flows into an Rx path is measured, and then the phase shift of the variable phase shifter is controlled in such a manner as to minimize the measured level of the reflection signal. Therefore, calibration is implemented so that an antenna impedance changing in response to a position in which contact is made by a user's hand may have an adaptively optimal antenna reflection coefficient, thereby improving the Rx sensitivity.

The method of operating a non-volatile memory device includes dumping data stored in input latches of a page buffer to other latches of the page buffer to receive second data to be written to a second cell group of a memory cell array from outside the non-volatile memory device during writing of first data to a first cell group of the memory cell array. In the method, receiving of the second data may be finished before the writing of the first data is finished.
