ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for transferring data in a memory that includes memory cells forming memory pages, and a page buffer that includes a register, with signal lines selectively transferring data stored in the register to the memory cells of a selected one of the memory pages and an output interface of the memory. Data read from or to be written to the memory cells of the selected one of the memory pages is at least temporarily stored in the register, and outputs of the register are buffered so as to decouple the outputs of the register from the signal lines. The signal lines include bitlines that are each coupled to some of the memory cells and data lines that are coupled to the output interface of the memory. The buffering comprises selectively driving the bitlines or the data lines according to a data word that is stored in the register.
