Abstract

A method of adjusting read voltages for a NAND flash memory device includes an operation of reading first page data from a first page corresponding to a paired page of a second page, an operation of simultaneously changing the first test read voltage and the third test read voltage to read second page data from a second page, an operation of performing a bitwise operation on the first page data and the second page data an operation of counting a number of memory cells corresponding to a first threshold voltage state and a fourth threshold voltage state by using a result of the bitwise operation, and an operation of setting a first read voltage and a third read voltage as a voltage corresponding to a section in which a change in the number of memory cells is a lowest value.
