Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory having a non-power of two memory capacity is disclosed. The nonvolatile memory device includes at least one plane. The plane includes a plurality of blocks with each of the blocks divided into a number of pages and each of the blocks defined along a first dimension by a first number of memory cells for storing data, and along a second dimension of by a second number of memory cells for storing data. The nonvolatile memory has a non-power of two capacity proportionally related to a total number of memory cells in said plane. The nonvolatile memory also includes a plurality of row decoders. An at least substantially one-to-one relationship exists, in the memory device, for number of row decoders to number of pages. Each of the row decoders is configured to facilitate a read operation on an associated page of the memory device.
