Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods to perform continuous read operations are described. A system configured to perform such continuous read operations enables improved access to and processing of data for performance of associated functions. For instance, one apparatus described herein includes a memory device having an array that includes a plurality of pages of memory cells. The memory device includes a page buffer coupled to the array and a continuous read buffer. The continuous read buffer includes a first cache to receive a first segment of data values and a second cache to receive a second segment of the data values from the page buffer. The memory device is configured to perform a continuous read operation on the first and second segments of data from the first cache and the second cache of the continuous read buffer.
