Nonvolatile memory apparatus for generating read reference and an operating method of the nonvolatile memory apparatus
A nonvolatile memory apparatus may include a control circuit, a sense amplifier, and a reference generator. The control circuit may apply a read voltage across a target memory cell through a selected global bit line and a selected global word line. The sense amplifier may generate an output signal by comparing voltage levels of the selected global word line and a reference line. The reference generator may change the voltage level of the reference line by charging and discharging a capacitor that is coupled to the reference line.
