Abstract

Provision and use of sets of isolators to enable the caching of the contents of at least one row of memory cells within a subarray of a bank of a memory device by a row of sense amplifiers associated with the subarray to enable faster access to read the contents of that at least one row through a read operation causing the data to read from the row of sense amplifiers versus from the row of memory cells, directly.
