APPARATUS HAVING SEGMENTED DATA LINES AND METHODS OF THEIR OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18117553 Titled 'APPARATUS HAVING SEGMENTED DATA LINES AND METHODS OF THEIR OPERATION'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a type of memory that consists of multiple memory cells arranged in an array. These memory cells are connected to a data line, which is divided into two segments. The first segment is connected to a subset of memory cells, while the second segment is selectively connected to the first segment. There are also two page buffers, with each buffer selectively connected to one of the data line segments.


Original Abstract Submitted

Memory might include an array of memory cells and a data line selectively connected to a plurality of memory cells of the array of memory cells. The data line might include a first data line segment corresponding to a first subset of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells and a second data line segment corresponding to a second subset of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells. The second data line segment is selectively connected to the first data line segment. A first page buffer might be selectively connected to the first data line segment, and a second page buffer might be selectively connected to the second data line segment.
