Abstract
A flash memory array and a method for performing read operation therein are disclosed. The flash memory array comprises a plurality of memory segment, a data cache and a plurality of data handlers coupled between a pair of memory segment and between a memory segment and the data cache. A read operation of selected bitlines of a selected memory segment is performed by a segment data handler coupled to the selected memory segment locally and the read data is transmitted to the data cache. A segment data handler is configured to get read data from the selected bitlines by first pre-charging the bitlines and sensing the bitlines. Further, the read data is transmitted to the data cache through all of the segment data handlers in a sequential manner, if present between the selected memory segment and the data cache.
