Nonvolatile memory device, memory system, and operating methods

摘要

This invention provides for a nonvolatile memory device, in particular a flash memory device, a corresponding memory system, and methods for operating such device and system. In exemplary embodiments, a pipelined burst read operation allows the device to support higher data transfer rates than are possible with prior art burst read flash memory devices. Preferably, the flash memory device supports both non-pipelined and pipelined read operations, with the read mode settable from a memory controller.
