Abstract

A non-volatile memory device having optimized management of data transmission lines, having the particularity that it comprises at least one bidirectional internal bus that runs from one end of the memory device to the other, one or more source structures that exist externally and internally to the memory device, and a timer means. The timer means is adapted to time-control the independent and exclusive access of the external and internal source structures, within a same memory cycle, to the internal bus for the transmission of data, controls, and functions, from one end of the memory to the other over the internal bus.
