Row selector circuit for electrically programmable and erasable non volatile memories
Abstract:
The invention relates to a row decoder circuit for non volatile memory devices of the electrically programmable and erasable type, for example of the Flash EEPROM type having a NOR architecture. The proposed row decoder circuit allows to carry out the erasing step very quickly, for example with a granularity emulating at least 16 kB and even overcoming by at least 2 kB Flash memories of the NAND type. The memory can thus maintain high performances in terms of random access speed but shows a high erasing speed typical of memory architectures of the NAND type.
