Abstract

See full text

A system and method is provided for bit line sharing in a memory device. Adjacent memory cells are configured to share a bit line and are accessed with separate word lines as an odd and even plane. Bit line sharing reduces the number of Y-multiplexors and I/O circuitry required by about two-fold, and provides power savings by reducing the number of bit lines pre-charged.
