Abstract
Manners for transferring information within a flash memory device across a memory array are described. A controller retrieves information from a storage unit and then a decoder decodes the information. The information is set across a series of bitlines through a pass gate to a second controller. The bitlines are both associated with the storage unit as well as bitlines associated with other storage units. A series of transistors is associated with each bitline. Different transistors are active based on if the bitlines are associated with the currently used storage unit.
