Abstract

A method and a memory device are provided for accessing a storage location. The method includes storing an extended address value in a register in a non-volatile memory device. The method further includes subsequently receiving multiple addresses and combining the stored extended address value with each of the multiple received addresses to produce multiple combined addresses. The method further includes accessing multiple storage locations within the non-volatile memory device based, at least in part, on the multiple combined addresses.
