Abstract:
1. A non-volatile storage device, comprising: a plurality of non-volatile storage elements; one or more control circuits that perform memory operations; and a first set of selection circuits, each selection circuit of the first set of selection circuits is in communication with the one or more control circuits and a different group of two or more of the non-volatile storage elements, during concurrent memory operations each of the selection circuits of the first set of selection circuits selectively and concurrently connect a respective first non-volatile storage element of respective groups to the one or more control circuits until the memory operation completes for the first non-volatile storage element of the respective groups and then selectively connect a second non-volatile storage element of the respective groups to the one or more control circuits-independently of the completion of the memory operation for the first non-volatile storage element of other groups, the first non-volatile storage element of each of the groups are all in a common block of non-volatile storage elements.
