ABSTRACT:
A memory device operates according to a method for reading includes pre-charging a first set of selected bit lines to a pre-charge voltage and sensing data from the cells coupled to the first set of selected bit lines. Then, residual charge is transferred from the first set of selected bit lines to corresponding members of a second set of selected bit lines. The second set of selected bit lines, having an initial charge transferred from the first set, is then pre-charged to the pre-charge voltage. The data from the cells coupled to the second set of selected bit lines it is then sensed. In embodiments described herein, the read operation occurs in a burst read mode, where a volume of data having consecutive addresses is read.
