Abstract
Disclosed are a method of controlling a page buffer having a dual register and a control circuit thereof. In the present invention, during a normal program operation, a normal program operation is performed through the same transmission path as a data transmission path along which data is outputted from bit lines of a memory cell array to a YA pad according to a signal PBDO used in a read operation. A program operating time can be reduced and the whole program operation of a chip can be thus reduced. It is also possible to reduce current consumption by shortening a data path during the normal program operation.
