MEMORY DEVICES FOR MULTIPLE READ OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232949 titled 'MEMORY DEVICES FOR MULTIPLE READ OPERATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a memory device that consists of an array of memory cells, access lines, and control logic.
- The memory cells are arranged in strings, with each string containing multiple series-connected memory cells.
- Each access line is connected to the control gate of a memory cell in each string.
- The control logic is designed to perform various read operations on the memory cells.
- The memory cells can be opened for multiple read operations.
- The first page data is read from the memory cells connected to a selected access line.
- The second page data is also read from the same memory cells.
- After reading the first and second page data, the memory cells are closed.
Original Abstract Submitted
Memory devices might include an array of memory cells, a plurality of access lines, and control logic. The array of memory cells includes a plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. Each access line of the plurality of access lines is connected to a control gate of a respective memory cell of each string of series-connected memory cells of the plurality of strings of series-connected memory cells. The control logic is configured to: open the array of memory cells for multiple read operations; read first page data from respective memory cells coupled to a selected access line of the plurality of access lines; read second page data from the respective memory cells coupled to the selected access line; and close the array of memory cells subsequent to reading the first page data and the second page data.
