Abstract text

A non-volatile memory device for measuring a read current of a unit cell is disclosed. The non-volatile memory device includes a unit cell configured to read or write data, a column switching unit configured to select the unit cell in response to a column selection signal, a sense amplifier controlled by a sense-amplifier enable signal, configured to sense and amplify data that is received from the unit cell through the column switching unit, a first latch unit configured to latch the sense-amplifier enable signal for a predetermined time when a test code signal received from an external part is activated, a column controller configured to output a latch control signal in response to a combination of a column switch-off signal and a column control signal, and a second latch unit configured to control whether or not the column selection signal is latched in response to an activation state of the latch control signal.
