Abstract

See full text

A flash memory device (100) provides for simultaneous read and write operations in two banks (194, 196) of flash memory cells. A plurality of output circuits (182) switch large amounts of current during reading of stored data. To reduce noise in read circuitry (174) and write circuitry (142), a separate power supply bus (204) and ground bus (208) is provided for the output circuits. The power supply bus is independent of the power supply bus which serves the internal circuitry, such as the read circuitry and the write circuitry.
