Abstract

A memory device includes a data register operatively coupled to the memory array, a cache operatively coupled to the data register, and an input/output interface operatively coupled to the cache. A controller executes a continuous page read operation to sequentially load pages to the data register and move the pages to the cache, in response to a page read command, executes the cache read operation in response to a cache read command to move data from the cache to the input/output interface, and to stall moving of the data from the cache until a next cache read command, and terminates the continuous page read operation in response to a terminate command.
