Abstract
A memory device, including a plurality of planes, includes a mode setting component to set an operation mode of the memory device as a verify pass mode to allow a verify operation, performed in the plurality of planes, to forcibly pass; and a verify signal generator for outputting a verify pass signal signaling that the verify operation has passed for each of the plurality of planes.
Claims9
A memory device, including a plurality of planes, the memory device comprising:
- a mode setting component configured to set an operation mode of the memory device as a verify pass mode to allow a verify operation, performed in the plurality of planes, to forcibly pass;
- and
- a verify signal generator configured to output a verify pass signal signaling that the verify operation has passed for each of the plurality of planes,
- wherein the mode setting component outputs verify pass setting information allowing the verify pass signal to be output for planes performing the verify operation among any planes with already passing the verify operation,
- wherein the verify signal generator includes a program verify signal generator configured to output a program verify pass signal, signaling that a program verify operation has passed for each of the plurality of planes.

A method for operating a memory device, including a plurality of planes, the method comprising:
- setting an operation mode of the memory device to allow a verify operation, performed in the plurality of planes, to forcibly pass;
- and
- outputting a verify pass signal signaling that the verify operation has passed for each of the plurality of planes,
- wherein, in the outputting of the verify pass signal, a program verify pass signal, signaling that a program verify operation has passed for each of the plurality of planes, is output when the verify operation is the program verify operation.
