Abstract:
Providing for a memory apparatus configured for improved data management for a two-terminal memory array is described herein. By way of example, disclosed embodiments relate to page management and transfer of data between page-sized subsets of a page buffer, and respective pages within one or more memory banks of the two-terminal memory array. The memory apparatus can emulate a larger page size than a physical page buffer utilized by the memory apparatus, to provide compatibility with different page size defaults while lowering current consumption by the page buffer. This can facilitate large or small array operations, taking advantage of higher efficiencies of two-terminal memory devices. In addition, page buffer data management can facilitate interleaved data transfers among multiple banks of memory, facilitating large memory capacities for a disclosed memory apparatus.
