  • Patent number: 11462271
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device and an operating method are provided. The nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of planes, each plane including a plurality of memory blocks, an address decoder connected to the memory cell array, a voltage generator configured to apply an operating voltage to the address decoder, a page buffer circuit including page buffers corresponding to each of the planes, a data input/output circuit connected to the page buffer circuit configured to input and output data and a control unit configured to control the operation of the address decoder, the voltage generator, the page buffer circuit, and the data input/output circuit, wherein the control unit is configured to operate in a multi-operation or a single operation by checking whether a memory block of an access address is a bad block.

  • Patent number: 11443817
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes processing circuitry configured to apply a sub-voltage to the first word lines, determine a desired first read voltage based on a threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of first memory cells connected to the first word lines, apply the sub-voltage to the second word lines, determine a desired second read voltage based on a threshold voltage distribution of a plurality of second memory cells connected to the second word lines, apply the desired first read voltage to the first word lines while simultaneously reading the first memory cells connected to the first word lines, and apply the desired second read voltage different from the desired first read voltage to the second word lines while simultaneously reading the second memory cells connected to the second word lines.

  • Patent number: 10522230
    Abstract: A method of operating a nonvolatile memory device is provided. The nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells. The method includes: the nonvolatile memory device determining an operation mode based on the received command, the nonvolatile memory device generating a comparison voltage based on the determined operation mode, the nonvolatile memory device comparing the comparison voltage with a reference voltage to generate a result, and the nonvolatile memory device performing a recovery operation on at least one of the memory cells depending on the result.
