Abstract
A non-volatile memory (NVM) includes a daisy chained normal read bus, a daisy chained verify read bus, and a plurality of partitions. Each partition includes a portion of the daisy chained normal read bus and a portion of the daisy chained verify read bus. A memory controller receives read data in response to normal read access requests to the NVM via the daisy chained normal read bus and, in response to write access requests to the NVM, receives verify read data via the daisy chained verify read bus. A bus sharing circuit is coupled between a first partition and a second partition. The bus sharing circuit, in response to a sharing control signal, selectively repurposes portions of the daisy chained verify read bus in at least one of the partitions to communicate read data to the memory controller in response to a normal read access request to the NVM.
