Abstract
Provided herein may be a memory device and a method of operating the same. The memory device may include a plurality of memory cell strings, a peripheral circuit configured to, using a plurality of read voltages, perform a read operation that reads data that is stored in a selected memory cell that is included in a selected memory cell string, and an operation controller configured to control the peripheral circuit to perform the read operation by using a first read voltage, a first potential adjustment operation, and the read operation by using a second read voltage that is lower than the first read voltage, wherein the first potential adjustment operation is an operation that applies a first turn-on voltage to unselected source select lines that are coupled to unselected memory cell strings for a first period and thereafter applies a ground voltage to the unselected source select lines.
