Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a page buffer configured to read data out of a memory cell array in response to a bias enable signal, and a control logic configured to generate the bias enable signal and a bias precharge signal that are used to control the memory cell array. The control logic activates the bias enable signal and the precharge signal before a ready/busy signal activating a read operation of the memory cell array is enabled.
