Abstract

An operating method of a memory device includes: instructing, by a master chip, a first memory chip and a second memory chip to perform a read operation; transferring, by the first memory chip, data stored in the first memory chip to the master chip through a first through-chip channel in response to the read operation instruction, and transferring, by the second memory chip, data stored in the second memory chip to the master chip through a second through-chip channel in response to the read operation instruction; comparing, by the master chip, a phase of the data transferred through the first through-chip channel with a phase of the data transferred through the second through-chip channel; and adjusting a delay value of a data transmission channel of at least one of the first memory chip and the second memory chip based on a result of the comparing.
