Abstract

A non-volatile memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells; a page buffer for performing a plurality of read operations and storing results of the read operations, wherein each of the read operations includes at least one sensing operation for selected memory cells from the plurality of memory cells; a multi-sensing manager for determining a number of sensing operations for each of the plurality of read operations and controlling the page buffer to perform the read operations; and a data identifier for identifying a data state of a bit for the selected memory cells based on the results of the read operations, wherein the multi-sensing manager determines the number of sensing operations for at least one read operation from among the read operations to be different from the number of sensing operations for other read operations from among the read operations.
