Abstract

See full text

An NAND flash memory and a reading method thereof capable of high-speed reading of SFDP data are provided. The flash memory includes a memory cell array, a page buffer/reading circuit 170 and a controller 150. The page buffer/reading circuit 170 includes a first latch circuit L1 and a second latch circuit L2. The first latch circuit L1 keeps data read from the memory cell array. The second latch circuit L2 keeps data transferred from the first latch circuit L1. Just after power is turned on or reset, the controller 150 controls data of block 0/page 0 of the memory cell array to be kept in the second latch circuit L2 and controls the SFDP data to be kept in the first latch circuit L1. The SFDP data or the data of block 0/page 0 is serially output according to an input command.
