  • Output switching implementation for a flash memory device
    Patent number: 6285585
    Abstract: An output buffer control circuit for a simultaneous operation flash memory device is disclosed. The output buffer control circuit receives signals indicating when an equalization or address transition detect phase of operation is happening and blocks the output enable input signal from reaching the output buffers of the memory device. This prevents the output buffers from switching.
