Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device includes a core unit and a peripheral circuit unit. The core unit is configured to be capable of storing data. The peripheral circuit unit is configured to program and read the data to and from the core unit. The peripheral circuit unit is configured to generate an internal clock having a first period. The peripheral circuit unit is configured to change the first period to be a second period after being input a first command and a second command within an interval.
Claims12
A nonvolatile memory device, comprising:
- a core unit configured to be capable of storing data;
- and
- a peripheral circuit unit configured to program and read the data to and from the core unit,
- the peripheral circuit unit being configured to generate an internal clock having a first period and change the first period to be a second period after being input a first command and a second command within an interval,
- wherein the second period is changed to a third period when at least one selected from the first command and the second command is not input within the interval, the third period is longer than the second period.

- a peripheral circuit unit configured to program and read the data to and from the core unit,
- the peripheral circuit unit being configured to generate an internal clock having a first period and change the first period to be a second period after being input a first command and a second command within an interval,
- wherein the peripheral circuit unit, in startup, is configured to:
- generate the internal clock having the first period;
- correct the first period to be the second period by being input the internal clock having the first period;
- read period correction information from the core unit by using the internal clock having the second period;
- and
- correct the period of the internal clock to be a third period by using the period correction information, and
- the peripheral circuit unit is configured to program and read data input from the outside by using the internal clock having the third period.
