Circuit for precharging bit line and nonvolatile memory device including the same

Abstract

A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array configured to comprise a number of cell strings, a number of page buffers each coupled to the cell strings of the memory cell array through bit lines, and a bit line precharge circuit configured to precharge a selected bit line up to a voltage of a first level before one of the page buffers precharges the selected bit line.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
