ABSTRACT:
The data read method for a non-volatile memory device includes a multi-sector erase operation and a Read While Write (RWW) operation. In the multi-sector erase operation, a plurality of sectors, which are to be erased, are sequentially erased. In the RWW operation, if a read command instructing reading of a sector that is to be read is received while the multi-sector erase operation is being performed, data of the sector that is to be read is read. In the RWW operation, data of a sector that is to be read belonging to a bank including an erased sector, from which data is already erased, is read. Related memory devices are also disclosed.
