Abstract
A non-volatile storage apparatus continuously maintains unselected word lines for multiple regions in multiple blocks at one or more overdrive voltages and continuously maintains unselected select lines for multiple regions in multiple blocks at one or more unselected voltages while performing a read process for non-volatile memory cells in one or more regions of one or more blocks of the same die, without lowering those signals to ground or another resting voltage. Selected word lines are separately temporarily toggled to a read reference voltage to enable reading and then reverted back to an overdrive voltage upon completion of the reading. Selected select lines are separately temporarily toggled to a select voltage to enable reading and then reverted back to an unselected voltage upon completion of the reading.
