  • Publication number: 20140063956
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes: a page buffer block including a plurality of cache latches configured to temporarily store data inputted to program memory cells, and configured to program the inputted data into the memory cells; and a column decoder configured to provide column select signals for selecting the cache latches to the cache latches according to a column address, wherein the column decoder activates column select signals for selecting a part of the cache latches at substantially the same time, while data are set up in the cache latches.
