Abstract: A memory device and operating method of the memory device are provided. The memory device comprises a memory cell storing data based on a first voltage, a row decoder selecting a wordline of the memory cell based on the first voltage, and a wordline predecoder configured to generate a “predec” signal, which is for generating a wordline voltage to be provided to the row decoder. The wordline predecoder is driven by the first voltage and a second voltage, which is different from the first voltage, receives a row address signal, associated with selecting the wordline, and an internal clock signal associated with adjusting operating timings of elements included in the memory device. The wordline predecoder performs a NAND operation on the row address signal and the internal clock signal, and provides the “predec” signal generated based on a result of the NAND operation to the row decoder.
