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

Claim 8:
9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the one or more control circuits are configured to:
drive a current through a selected first conductive line that is connected to both the first memory cell and the second memory cell while applying a select voltage to a first bit line connected to the first memory cell and to a second bit line connected to the second memory cell to turn on the first threshold switching selector concurrently with turning on the second threshold switching selector;
change the select voltage applied to the second bit line to an unselect voltage to end a refresh operation for the second threshold switching selector; and
keep the select voltage applied to the first bit line at the select voltage to read the first memory cell while continuing to drive the current through the selected first conductive line.
