Abstract

A non-volatile memory device comprises an even bit line and an odd bit line contacting to a memory cell array. A register unit includes a first register and a second register for temporarily storing data. A detecting node detects a voltage level of the specific bit line or the specific register which is connected to the bit lines and the registers. A selecting unit of the bit line includes a first variable voltage input terminal and a second variable voltage input terminal. The first variable voltage input terminal applies a first variable voltage of a specific voltage level to the even bit line in response to an even discharge signal. The second variable voltage input terminal applies a second variable voltage of a specific voltage level to the odd bit line in response to an odd discharge signal.
