  • Two-stage pipeline sensing for page mode flash memory
    Patent number: 6243291
    Abstract: A method for operating a page mode memory device includes decoding an address defining a page for access and sensing first data on a first portion of the page. The first data is then produced at an output. Substantially simultaneously, second data is sensed on a second portion of the page and subsequently the second data is produced at the output. In this manner, the current drain and noise within the memory device are reduced to improve performance and reliability of the memory device.
