Patent ID: 7532512

Claim:
A non-volatile memory device functioning in a page mode and comprising: a page buffer comprising a plurality of data output drivers to be enabled by a first enabling signal to output data therefrom; a selection multiplexer to be controlled by a plurality of address signals to select the data to be output from one of said plurality of data output drivers; and a global data line driver coupled to an output of said selection multiplexer to transfer the selected data based on a second enabling signal, said global data line driver comprising an input line to receive the selected data from said selection multiplexer, a pre-charge transistor to be turned on by a pre-charge control signal to connect the input line to a voltage reference, and a pre-charge control circuit to generate the pre-charge control signal based on receiving the first enabling signal, a command signal to select a low voltage functioning mode of the non-volatile memory device, an inverted replica of the selected data, and a stand-by signal to set the non-volatile memory device in a stand-by state.
