Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and a bad block remapping circuit. The memory cell array includes a first mat and a second mat that are paired with each other. The first mat includes a plurality of first memory blocks. The second mat includes a plurality of second memory blocks. A first selection memory block among the plurality of first memory blocks and a second selection memory block among the plurality of second memory blocks are accessed based on a first address. The bad block remapping circuit generates a first remapping address based on the first address when it is determined that the first selection memory block is defective. A first remapping memory block among the plurality of first memory blocks and the second selection memory block are accessed based on the first remapping address.
