Abstract
A memory device having a plurality of memory blocks compensates for a characteristic change of a memory cell due to stopping an erase operation. The memory device also includes a voltage generator configured to generate voltages used by the memory device in performing an erase operation on a selected memory block among the plurality of memory blocks. The memory device further includes an erase stop controller configured to control stopping and resuming the erase operation, and counting the number of times the erase operation is stopped to generate a stop count value when the erase operation is stopped. The memory device additionally includes a count value storage configured to store and output the stop count value.
