Assignee: SANDISK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. The non-volatile memory device of claim 1, the control circuit further configured to:
pre-charge the second sensing node for a second sensing operation of a second selected memory cell along a second bit line;
discharge the pre-charged second sense node through the second selected memory cell by an amount dependent on a programmed state of the second selected memory cell;
based on the amount the second sense node discharged, set a second sensed value on the second local data bus indicative of the programmed state of the second selected memory cell;
subsequent to setting the second sensed value on the second local data bus, perform a plurality of logical operations between the second sensed value and values latched in the second plurality of data latches including transferring the values latched in the second plurality of data latches to the first local data bus over the connection circuit; and
concurrently with performing the plurality of logical operations, pre-charge the first sense node for a subsequent sensing operation.
