  • Patent number: 11114163
    Abstract: Presented herein is a memory device and a method of operating the memory device. The memory device may include a memory cell, and a page buffer coupled to the memory cell via a bit line and configured to perform a read operation on the memory cell. The page buffer may include a storage unit configured to control a bit line precharge operation during the read operation and to store a result value of a first sensing operation. After the bit line precharge operation, a value stored in the storage unit is inverted before the storage unit stores the result value of the first sensing operation.
