Abstract
A system includes a memory block. The memory block includes a local control circuit that is operable to control a memory operation of the memory block. The local control circuit includes a local sense amplifier. The system also includes a global memory control circuit separate from the memory block, and the global memory control circuit is operable to communicate with the local control circuit. The global memory control circuit includes a global data latch operable to receive a sensed data state from the local sense amplifier.
