Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device is provided, which includes a memory core including a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells, a first read circuit that reads a first codeword from the memory core during a Read While Write (RWW) operation, a second read circuit that reads a second codeword from the memory core during a Read Modification Write (RMW) operation, and a common decoder that is shared by the first read circuit and the second read circuit and selectively decodes the first codeword or the second codeword.
