Abstract

An apparatus includes a control circuit that is configured to connect to an array of non-volatile memory cells. The control circuit includes a first plurality of data latches configured to connect to non-volatile memory cells of a first plane and a second plurality of data latches configured to connect to non-volatile memory cells of a second plane. The control circuit also includes a shared data transfer data latch configured for transfer of data with the first plurality of data latches and the second plurality of data latches. The shared transfer data latch can be used to transfer data for operations being performed on a first plane to use the data latches on the other plane for storing data for operations on the first plane.
