Abstract
The present disclosure provides page buffer circuits of 3D NAND devices. In some embodiments, the page buffer circuit comprises a first bit line segment sensing branch connected to a first bit line segment of a bit line, and a second bit line segment sensing branch connected to a second bit line segment of the bit line. The first bit line segment sensing branch and the second bit line segment sensing branch are parallel connected to a sensing node of the page buffer circuit. In some embodiments, the first bit line segment sensing branch comprises a first sense latch and a first bit line pre-charge path, and the second bit line segment sensing branch comprises a second sense latch and a second bit line pre-charge path.
