Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Random sequence data is sequentially generated based on a seed assigned to a selected memory space, and one of access-requested segments of the selected memory space is logically combined with the sequentially generated random sequence data to transfer the access-requested segment. The sequentially generating and the logically combining are iteratively performed until remaining access-requested segments all transferred.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nonvolatile memory device comprising: a page buffer circuit configured to read or write data from or to a selected page of a memory cell array; and a randomization and de-randomization circuit configured to randomize and de-randomize data being transferred to or from the page buffer circuit based on a seed assigned to the selected page, wherein the selected page includes a plurality of segments; wherein the randomization and de-randomization circuit…
