Abstract

A non-volatile memory, such as a Flash memory, is configured to perform a random multi-page read operation. The memory may include a core array of non-volatile memory cells and input lines for receiving an indication of the random multi-page read operation. Further, the memory may include a multi-level volatile memory coupled to the core array that is configured to simultaneously process multiple pages of data from the core array in a pipelined manner. Output lines are coupled to the multi-level volatile memory and output the pages of data from the memory device.
