  • Publication number: 20140047167
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array, a row decoder, a page buffer, and control logic. The memory cell array includes memory cells connected to word lines and bit lines, the memory cell array being configured to store data. The row decoder is configured to selectively activate a string selection line, a ground selection line, and the word lines of the memory cell array. The page buffer is configured to temporarily store external data and to apply a predetermined voltage to the bit lines according to the stored data during a program operation, and to sense data stored in selected memory cells using the bit lines during a read operation or a verification operation. The control logic is configured to control the row decoder and the page buffer. During execution of commands, when a request to suspend the execution of the commands is retrieved, chip information is backed up to a storage space separate from the control logic.
