  • Patent number: 7515477
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device comprises an even bit line and an odd bit line contacting to a memory cell array. A register unit includes a first register and a second register for temporarily storing data. A detecting node detects a voltage level of the specific bit line or the specific register which is connected to the bit lines and the registers. A selecting unit of the bit line includes a first variable voltage input terminal and a second variable voltage input terminal. The first variable voltage input terminal applies a first variable voltage of a specific voltage level to the even bit line in response to an even discharge signal. The second variable voltage input terminal applies a second variable voltage of a specific voltage level to the odd bit line in response to an odd discharge signal.

  • Publication number: 20090067254
    Abstract: A method of programming a multi level cell in a non-volatile memory device includes providing different data to main cells and indicator cells. The main cells and indicator cells have different threshold voltages in accordance with the data. A program operation is performed on a main cell and an indicator cell. A first verifying operation is performed based on a first verifying voltage of the main cell and the indicator cell. The program operation and the first verifying operation are performed repeatedly until a threshold voltage of a first cell of the indicator cells is higher than the first verifying voltage. A second verifying operation is performed on the main cell based on a second verifying voltage when the threshold voltage of the first cell is higher than the first verifying voltage.

  • Publication number: 20090052241
    Abstract: In a method of operating a non-volatile memory device, a bit line is precharged to a positive voltage, which is input through a common source line of cell strings of memory cells, according to a degree in which a selected memory cell has been programmed. Data according to a voltage level of a sensing node, which is changed according to a level of the voltage of the bit line, is stored in a first latch of a page buffer. The data stored in the first latch is transferred to a second latch through the sensing node.
