    Abstract: A simultaneous operation non-volatile memory device with a flexible bank partition architecture comprises a memory array (20) including a plurality of memory cells arranged in a plurality of columns and rows, a plurality of bit lines (28 and 30) each connected to a respective column of the memory cells, each of the bit lines comprising first and second bit line segments separated by a gap designating a memory partition boundary between upper and lower memory banks, and an X-decoder (22) connected to the respective rows of the memory cells to row decode the memory array in response to receiving upper and lower bank memory addresses. Two pre-decoders (24 and 26) are connected to the X-decoder (22). Two Y-decoders (32 and 34) are connected to the bit line segments to provide column decoding for the memory cells in the upper and lower memory banks, respectively.

    Abstract: A decoding circuit (54) for a simultaneous operation non-volatile memory device with a flexible bank partition architecture comprises an X-decoder (44), a lower bank decoder (58), an upper bank decoder (56), and a plurality of flexibly partitioned conductive lines connected between the upper and lower bank decoders (56 and 58). The flexibly partitioned conductive lines (60, 62, 64, ... 74) provide a plurality of bank address pre-decoding bits for the X-decoder (44) to row decode the memory cells along the respective word lines in the memory array (20). The memory array (20) includes a plurality of flexibly partitioned bit lines comprising first and second bit line segments to partition the memory array into upper and lower memory banks. The bit line segments in the upper and lower memory banks are connected to two Y-decoders (32 and 34) which provide column decoding for the memory cells in the upper and lower memory banks.
