Abstract:
A converged memory device includes at least a first memory and a second memory and a controller to select the first or second memory for performing fast or normal data processing, respectively, in response to a request from a host. The first memory includes a sense amplifier, one or more cell matrices, and a switching device. The cell matrices includes one or more first region memory cells disposed less than a first distance from the sense amplifier and one or more second region memory cells disposed more than a second distance from the sense amplifier, the second distance being longer than the first distance. The switching device is disposed between the first and second region memory cells. The controller controls the switching device to couple the first region memory cells to the sense amplifier and to decouple the second region memory cells from the sense amplifier according to the request.
