Abstract
A non-volatile memory device includes: a memory cell; a bit line connected to the memory cell; a first cross coupled inverter for storing data sensed from the memory cell through a sensing node connected to the bit line; a first transistor and a second transistor respectively connected to respective ends of the first cross coupled inverter and respectively transmitting a ground voltage to respective ends of the first cross coupled inverter; and a control circuit for operating the first transistor and the second transistor at least once for at least one of an initialize period in which the sensing node is discharged and a precharge period in which the bit line is precharged.
