Abstract
A memory device includes a first memory area including a first memory cell array having a plurality of first memory cells and a first peripheral circuit disposed below the first memory cell array; a second memory area including a second memory cell array having a plurality of second memory cells and a second peripheral circuit disposed below the second memory cell array; and a pad area including a power wiring. The first and second memory areas respectively include first and second local lockout circuits separately determining whether to lock out of each of the memory areas. The first and second memory areas are included in a single semiconductor chip to share the pad area, and the first and second memory areas operate individually. Accordingly, in the memory device, unnecessary data loss may be reduced by selectively stopping an operation of only a memory area requiring recovery.
