Patent attributes
A page buffer for an NAND flash memory, including: a first latch for loading data; a second latch for storing data stored on a cell depending on a bit line selection signal; a setting circuit for setting the first latch to a high level to load data in a high level; a first switching circuit for transferring the data stored on the second latch depending on a data output signal of a page buffer; a discharging circuit for discharging charges on a data line; a second switching circuit for connecting the data line discharged by the discharging circuit to the first latch depending on a data control signal to load the data in a low level to the first latch; and a data transferring circuit for transferring the data of the first latch to the second latch.
