Abstract
In a method of operating a memory device, a first operation is performed on a memory block by applying first driving voltages to a plurality of wordlines. After the first operation is completed, a first recovery operation in which the first driving voltages applied to the plurality of wordlines are discharged is performed. After the first recovery operation is completed, a second operation is performed on the memory block by applying second driving voltages to the plurality of wordlines. In the first recovery operation, first charges among a plurality of charges stored by the first driving voltages are stored in a charge recycling memory block connected to at least one charge recycling wordline. In the second operation, the second driving voltages are applied to the plurality of wordlines using the first charges stored in the charge recycling memory block.
