Abstract

A memory device can include at least one array comprising a plurality of elements programmable between at least two different states, each state having a different time to a change in property under applied sense conditions; a read circuit configured to apply the sense conditions to selected elements and detect changes in property of the selected elements to generate read data; a latch circuit configured to store read data from the read circuit; and a transfer path configured to provide a parallel data transfer path between the read circuit and the latch circuit.
