Patent attributes
A non-volatile memory device capable of stably setting its operating environment and a method of driving the non-volatile memory device are provided. The method includes providing power to the non-volatile memory device having a memory cell array that stores initial setting data for setting the operating environment of the non-volatile memory device. An initial read operation is performed on the memory cell array. The operating environment of the non-volatile memory device is set using the initial setting data that is read through the initial read operation. The initial setting data stored in the memory cell array includes main data having information about the operating environment to be set and an indicator corresponding to the main data for indicating a start and an end of the main data.
