MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18172308 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE
The abstract describes a memory device, such as a three-dimensional AND or NOR flash memory, that includes a memory cell block, multiple first bit line switches, multiple second bit line switches, a first switch, and a second switch. The memory cell block is divided into a first sub memory cell block and a second sub memory cell block. The first bit line switches are respectively coupled to multiple first local bit lines and commonly coupled to a first sub global bit line. The second bit line switches are respectively coupled to multiple second local bit lines and commonly coupled to a second sub global bit line. The first switch is coupled between the first sub global bit line and a global bit line and controlled by a first control signal. The second switch is coupled between the second sub global bit line and the global bit line and controlled by a second control signal.

Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device, such as a three-dimensional AND or NOR flash memory includes a memory cell block, multiple first bit line switches, multiple second bit line switches, a first switch, and a second switch. The memory cell block is divided into a first sub memory cell block and a second sub memory cell block. The first bit line switches are respectively coupled to multiple first local bit lines and commonly coupled to a first sub global bit line. The second bit line switches are respectively coupled to multiple second local bit lines and commonly coupled to a second sub global bit line. The first switch is coupled between the first sub global bit line and a global bit line and controlled by a first control signal. The second switch is coupled between the second sub global bit line and the global bit line and controlled by a second control signal.
