Abstract:
A memory device is disclosed in the present invention, comprising a memory array, a logic circuit, a sense amplifier circuit and a read buffer. The logic circuit is configured to perform a read operation in response to a read command and a start address. During the read operation, the logic circuit finds a target data in the memory array. The sense amplifier circuit is configured to read the target data from the memory array during the read operation. The read buffer is configured to temporarily stores and outputs the target data during the read operation. When an interruption event occurs during the read operation, the read buffer preserves a buffer content of the read buffer, and the logic circuit records a read status.
