Abstract
A memory device has an array of memory cells to store data, and a Y-gating circuit to gate data stored in a group of the memory cells. A page buffer is coupled between the memory cell array and the Y-gating circuit. The page buffer includes a dual register corresponding to each memory cell of the group. The dual register includes a first register and an associated second register. The first and second registers are adapted to exchange data with each other, with cells of the memory cell array, and with the Y-gating circuit.
