Abstract:
In some embodiments, a semiconductor memory device includes an array of semiconductor memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The array includes a first segment of memory cells and a second segment of memory cells. A first pair of complementary local bit lines extend over the first segment of memory cells and is coupled to multiple memory cells along a first column within the first segment of memory cells. A second pair of complementary local bit lines extend over the second segment of memory cells and is coupled to multiple memory cells along the first column within the second segment of memory cells. A pair of switches is arranged between the first and second segments of memory cells. The pair of switches is configured to selectively couple the first pair of complementary local bit lines in series with the second pair of complementary local bit lines.

Claim (Index 8):
A semiconductor memory device comprising:\n an array of semiconductor memory cells arranged in rows and columns, the array including first and second segments of non-overlapping memory cells which span multiple columns of the array; a first bit line extending over the first segment of memory cells; a second bit line extending over the second segment of memory cells; a switch arranged between the first and second segments of memory cells and being configured to selectively couple the first bit line in series with the second bit line; and a sense amp configured to read data states from the first segment of memory cells through the first bit line through the switch and through the second bit line, and further configured to read data states from the second segment of memory cells over the second bit line but not through the first bit line.
