G11C 11/4094
G11C 11/4096

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that sends a first command to a NAND die, sends first address information to the NAND die, and sends a second command to the NAND die, wherein the first command and the second command define a first command sequence and wherein the first address information signal a beginning of a first asynchronous read request from a first plurality of planes. In one example, the technology also sends a second command sequence and second address information to the NAND die wherein the second command sequence signals an end of the first asynchronous read request.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods may provide for technology that groups a plurality of wordline drivers together and supports these grouped wordline drivers via a shared multiplexer, a shared level shifter, and/or one or more shared multi-well level shifters. In one example, such technology includes a shared multiplexer and a first and second grouped global wordline driver coupled to the shared multiplexer. The shared multiplexer is to access data state information from a plurality of memory cells. The first grouped global wordline driver is to output a first plurality of wordlines associated with a first plane. The second grouped global wordline driver is to output a second plurality of wordlines associated with a second plane, where the second plane is different than the first plane.

G11C 16/26
G11C 16/08

Abstract:

A system for facilitating multiple concurrent page reads in a memory array is provided. Memory cells that have multiple programming states (e.g., store multiple bits per cell) rely on various control gate and wordline voltages levels to read the memory cells. Therefore, to concurrently read multiple pages of memory cells, where each page includes one or more different programming levels, a memory controller includes first wordline control logic that includes a first voltage regulator and includes second wordline control logic that includes a second voltage regulator, according to one embodiment. The two voltage regulators enable the memory controller to concurrently address and access multiple pages of memory at different programming levels, in response to memory read requests, according to one embodiment.
