    Abstract: Various example embodiments provide a flash memory device, comprising a cell string; a page buffer connected to the cell string and a bit line and configured to sense data stored in a selected memory cell by precharging a sensing node connected to the bit line; and a voltage regulator. The page buffer comprises a latch including first and second inverters coupled between a latch node and an inverted latch node; and a pull-down NMOS transistor for tripping the sensing result of the selected memory cell to the latch node. The voltage regulator adjusts a trip voltage by providing the source voltage to the pull-down NMOS transistor. The flash memory device reduce a trip voltage variation range by using only the pull-down NMOS transistor characteristics. Also, an OFF cell margin and an ON cell margin may be secured by adjusting the level of the trip voltage using the source voltage.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a charge pump of a flash memory, which includes a first stage pump that is connected between an output terminal and a first pump node, and a second stage pump that is connected between the first pump node and a second pump node. The first stage pump includes a first switch circuit that is connected between a power terminal and the first pump node and provides a power supply voltage to the first pump node in response to a first stage signal, in a normal operation, and a first pump circuit that generates a first pumping voltage by using a voltage of the first pump node in response to a first clock signal and provides the first pumping voltage to the output terminal. The first switch circuit blocks a current flow from the first pump node to the power terminal in a sudden power-off event.

    Abstract: An operating method of a nonvolatile memory device includes determining whether a memory block is a selected block, and when the memory block is not the selected block, determining whether the memory block shares a block word line with the selected block. The method further includes applying an unselected block word line voltage to word lines of the memory block when the memory block shares the block word line with the selected block, and floating the word lines of the memory block when the memory block does not share the block word line with the selected block.
