Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array configured to comprise memory cells coupled by bit lines and word lines, a page buffer unit configured to comprise page buffers and flag latches, wherein the page buffers, coupled to one or more of the bit lines, each are configured to comprise a plurality of latches for storing logic operation results for error correction and configured to store data read using a read voltage, and the flag latches each are configured to classify the page buffers into some page buffer groups each having a predetermined number and to store flag information indicating whether an error has occurred in each group, and an error detection code (EDC) checker configured to determine whether an error has occurred in each of the page buffer groups.
