Memory device and method of operating the same

A method of operating a memory device, the method comprising:

• receiving a row address and a column address;
• storing data of a row corresponding to the row address in a row buffer of a memory bank of the memory device;
• selecting, from among the data stored in the row buffer, first data of a first sub-column address and second data of a second sub-column address corresponding to the column address;
• transmitting the first data from a first selector of the selecting module to a selector of a processing in memory (PIM) block of the memory device through a first data path connected between the memory bank and the PIM block;
• and
• transmitting the second data from a second selector of the selecting module to another selector of the PIM block through a second data path connected between the memory bank and the PIM block.

A memory device, comprising:

• an operator comprising a logic circuit configured to perform a data operation;
• memory cells arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns;
• a row buffer configured to store row data of the memory cells;
• a first path connecting the row buffer and the operator;
• a second path connecting the row buffer and the operator and being independent of the first path;
• and
• a selecting module configured to select, from among the row data stored in the row buffer, first data of a first sub-column address and second data of a second sub-column address corresponding to a column address received by the memory device, and transmit the first data from a first selector of the selecting module to a selector of the operator through the first path and the second data from a second selector of the selecting module to another selector of the operator through the second path.

A memory device, comprising:

• a memory bank comprising:
• an array of memory cells arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns;
• a row buffer configured to store data of a row corresponding to a row address among the plurality of rows;
• and
• a selecting module configured to select, from among the data stored in the row buffer, first data of a first sub-column address and second data of a second sub-column address corresponding to a column address received by the memory device,
• wherein the first data is transmitted from a first selector of the selecting module to a selector of a processing in memory (PIM) block through a first data path connected between the selecting module and the PIM block, and the second data is transmitted from a second selector of the selecting module to another selector of the PIM block through a second data path connected between the selecting module and the PIM block.
