The present technology relates to an electronic device. According to the present technology, a memory device having improved verify accuracy may include a memory block including memory cells, a read and write circuit including a plurality of page buffers, a current sensing circuit configured to perform a verify operation of comparing sensing voltages with a reference voltage, and a control logic configured to control the current sensing circuit to perform the verify operation. The control logic controls performing a first verify operation on each of page buffer groups having a same logical group number, and performing a second verify operation on each of page buffer groups having a same physical group number, and the current sensing circuit outputs a verify pass signal in response to both results of the first verify operation and the second verify operation satisfying a pass criterion.

Apparatuses and methods including multiple read modes for reading data from a memory are described. An example apparatus includes a memory including a first read mode and a second read mode. The memory has a read operation for the first read mode including a first pre-access phase, an access phase, and a first post-access phase. The read operation for the second read mode includes a second pre-access phase, the access phase, and a second post-access phase. The read operation for either the first read mode or the second read mode is performed responsive to the memory receiving a read command. The second pre-access phase is different from the first pre-access phase, with the second pre-access phase having a shorter time than the first pre-access phase measured from receipt of the read command.

Systems, methods and apparatus to read target memory cells having an associated reference memory cell configured to be representative of drift or changes in the threshold voltages of the target memory cells. The reference cell is programmed to a predetermined threshold level when the target cells are programmed to store data. In response to a command to read the target memory cells, estimation of a drift of the threshold voltage of the reference is performed in parallel with applying an initial voltage pulse to read the target cells. Based on a result of the drift estimation, voltage pulses used to read the target cells can be modified and/or added to account for the drift estimated using the reference cell.
