Abstract
A method is provided for reading data in a nonvolatile memory device. The method includes performing a first read operation on multiple multi-level memory cells (MLCs), performing a first sensing operation on at least one flag cell corresponding to the MLCs, selectively performing a second read operation on the MLCs based on a result of the first sensing operation, and performing a second sensing operation on the at least one flag cell when the second read operation is performed. Read data is output based on results of the first read operation and the first sensing operation when the second read operation is not performed, and the read data is output based on result of the first read operation, the first sensing operation, the second read operation and the second sensing operation when the second read operation is performed. The read data corresponds to programmed data in the MLCs.
