Abstract
A memory device includes a memory cell array and a page buffer circuit, wherein the page buffer circuit includes page buffer units including upper page buffer units and lower page buffer units and cache units arranged between the upper page buffer unit and the lower page buffer units. The cache units include upper cache units and lower cache units. Each page buffer unit includes a sensing node and a pass transistor. The upper cache units share a first combined sensing node, and, the lower cache units share a second combined sensing node. In a data transmission period, sensing nodes respectively included the page buffer units are electrically connected to one another through serial connections of the pass transistors respectively included in the page buffer units.
