Abstract

A memory device includes a memory cell array including M memory cells connected to one bit line and configured to distributively store N-bit data, where N is a natural number of 2 or more and M is a natural number of 2 or more and less than or equal to N, the M memory cells including a first memory cell and a second memory cell having different sensing margins, and a memory controller including a page buffer, the memory controller configured to distributively store the N-bit data in the M memory cells and to sequentially read data stored in the M memory cells to obtain the N-bit data, and an operation logic configured to execute an operation using the N-bit data, the memory controller configured to provide different reading voltages to the first memory cell and the second memory cell.
