Memory device for suppressing hot carrier injection and method of operating the same

Abstract

The present technology includes a memory device and a method of operating the same. The memory device includes a memory block including pages configured of a plurality of memory cells, a peripheral circuit configured to perform a read operation on a selected page among the pages, and a control logic configured to control the peripheral circuit to perform a first read operation on a first logical page and then perform a second read operation on a second logical page, among the first and second logical pages in the selected page, during the read operation. The control logic is configured to control the peripheral circuit to adjust a channel initialization time according to the first logical page after the first read operation is ended, and perform a channel initialization operation during the channel initialization time during the second read operation.
