Abstract

Apparatuses and techniques are described for transferring data out of a memory device with low latency. Data can be stored in data transfer latches for NAND strings arranged in columns in divisions of a block. Data can be output from the data transfer latches for different columns in different divisions in each transfer. For example, the data output can include data from an nth column in some divisions and an n+1column in other divisions. This avoids outputting unwanted data at the start of a data transfer. The data from the data transfer latches is output to a data pipeline and then to a set of control latch circuits. The data can be clocked out from a last control latch circuit of the set in a desired division order by use of separate multiplexer control signals for the control latch circuits.
