    Abstract: Disclosed is a memory device which includes a memory cell array that includes a plurality of memory cells, and a peripheral circuit configured to perform a plurality of operations on the memory cell array by using a plurality of operating voltages. The peripheral circuit includes a voltage generating circuit including a first pump block, a second pump block, and a common pump block. The voltage generating circuit connects the first pump block and the common pump block in parallel to generate a first operating voltage among the plurality of operating voltages and connects the common pump block and the second pump block in series to generate a second operating voltage among the plurality of operating voltages. The common pump block is configurable to match the first pump block, the second pump block, or both, as needed.

    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.
