Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device may include a page buffer, a control signal generator, and a current mirror. The page buffer may be connected to a bitline and may allow a replicated current to flow through a ground terminal in response to a first control signal and a second control signal. The control signal generator may output the first control signal and the second control signal to the page buffer. The current mirror may output, in a virtual cell mode, a control voltage corresponding to a bias current. The control voltage may correspond to the first control signal.
