Memory having flying bitlines for improved burst mode read operations

Memory systems having flying bitlines for improved burst mode read operations and related methods are provided. A memory system comprises a memory array including a first set of memory cells coupled to a first inner wordline and a second set of memory cells coupled to a first outer wordline. The memory system includes a control unit configured to generate control signals for simultaneously: asserting a first wordline signal on the first inner wordline coupled to each of a plurality of inner bitlines, and asserting a second wordline signal on the first outer wordline coupled to each of a plurality of outer bitlines, where each of the plurality of outer bitlines includes a first portion configured to fly over or fly under a corresponding inner bitline, and outputting data from each of the first set of memory cells and the second set of memory cells as part of a burst.
