Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device includes a nonvolatile memory cell, a sensing circuit coupled between a sensing input line coupled to a bit line of the nonvolatile memory cell and a sensing output line, a sensing output grounding portion fixing an output signal of the sensing circuit at a low level if the output signal of the sensing circuit has a low level, and a bit line grounding portion fixing a bit line voltage at a ground voltage if the output signal of the sensing circuit is fixed at a low level.
