Abstract

A memory device includes a charge pump connected to a power supply voltage and including a plurality of stages to output an output voltage, a stage counter configured to output a count value that incrementally increases to a number of the stages, and a regulator configured to compare the output voltage with a reference output voltage of the charge pump that is generated using the incrementally increasing count value obtained by the stage counter, and to output a pump operation signal at a time when the reference output voltage becomes greater than or equal to the output voltage, wherein the charge pump operates in response to the pump operation signal.
