Patent ID: 7551477

Claim:
A non-volatile storage apparatus, comprising: a plurality of bit lines including a first set of one or more of said bit lines and a second set of one or more of said bit lines; non-volatile storage elements including a first group of one or more non-volatile storage elements connected to said first set of one or more bit lines and a second group of one or more non-volatile storage elements connected to said second set of one or more bit lines; and a plurality of bit line interface circuits including a first group of one or more bit line interface circuits connected to said first set of one or more bit lines and a second group of one or more bit line interface circuits connected to said second set of one or more bit lines, said first group of one or more bit line interface circuits provide a first signal to said first set of one or more bit lines based on distance of said first group of one or more non-volatile storage elements from said first group of one or more bit line interface circuits, said second group of one or more bit line interface circuits provide a second signal to said second set of one or more bit lines based on distance of said second group of one or more non-volatile storage elements from said second group of one or more bit line interface circuits.
