ABSTRACT:
A non-volatile memory device is disclosed that can reduce the time required for the initialization process. A non-volatile memory device includes a non-volatile memory array having a plurality of pages. Each page includes a plurality of non-volatile memory cells, a first region for storing data, and a second region for storing control data that is associated with the data of the first region. The non-volatile memory device further includes a read out unit for reading out data from the pages, and a data buffer for temporarily storing data that has been read out from the pages by the read out unit. When reading out the control data, the read out unit reads out the second regions, across a plurality of pages, at one time.
