Patent ID: 8913413

Claim:
A non-volatile storage device, comprising: a plurality of non-volatile storage elements arranged in groups; bit lines in communication with the non-volatile storage elements; multiple sets of first local data lines, each group includes its own set of first local data lines; multiple sets of second local data lines, each group includes its own set of second local data lines; each set of first local data lines and each set of second local data lines being respectively outside the plurality of non-volatile storage elements for its respective group; a set of global data lines outside the plurality of non-volatile storage elements arranged in groups; first selection circuits, each group includes a different subset of the first selection circuits for selectively electrically connecting a subset of the bit lines to first local data lines for the respective group or second local data lines for the respective group; second selection circuits, the second selection circuits selectively electrically connect a subset of the set of first local data lines for the respective group or a subset of the set of second local data lines for the respective group to the global data lines; and control circuits in communication with the global data lines.
