    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device using existing row decoding circuitry to selectively provide a global erase voltage to at least one selected memory block in order to facilitate erasing of all the non-volatile memory cells of the at least one selected memory block. More specifically, the erase voltage is coupled to the cell body or substrate of memory cells of the at least one selected memory block, where the cell body is electrically isolated from the cell body of non-volatile memory cells in at least one other memory block. By integrating the erase voltage path with the existing row decoding circuitry used to drive row signals for a selected memory block, no additional decoding logic or circuitry is required for providing the erase voltage to the at least one selected memory block.

    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure provides a non-volatile memory device having a hierarchical bitline structure for preventing erase voltages applied to one group of memory cells of the memory array from leaking to other groups in which erasure is not required. Local bitlines are coupled to the memory cells of each group of memory cells. Each local bitline can be selectively connected to a global bitline during read operations for the selected group, and all the local bitlines can be disconnected from the global bitline during an erase operation when a specific group is selected for erasure. Select devices for electrically connecting each bitline of a specific group of memory cells to the global bitline have device bodies that are electrically isolated from the bodies of those memory cells.

    Abstract: A dual function memory device architecture compatible with asynchronous operation and synchronous serial operation. The dual function memory device architecture includes one set of physical ports having two different functional assignments. Coupled between the physical ports and core circuits of the memory device are asynchronous and synchronous input and output signal paths or circuits. The signal paths include shared or dedicated buffers coupled to the ports, asynchronous and synchronous command decoders, a network of switches, and a mode detector. The mode detector determines the operating mode of the dual function memory device from a port, and provides the appropriate switch selection signal. The network of switches routes the input or output signals through the asynchronous or synchronous circuits in response to the switch selection signal. The appropriate command decoder interprets the input signals and provides common control logic with the necessary signals for initiating the corresponding operation.
