Abstract

A non-volatile memory device includes a feedback circuit and a precharge switching transistor. The feedback circuit generates a feedback signal based on a voltage level of a bitline during a precharge operation. The precharge switching transistor, in response to the feedback signal, controls a precharge current for precharging the bitline. The speed of the precharge operation may be increased and/or mismatch of the bias signals in precharging a plurality of bitlines may be reduced.
