Abstract:
A brown out detection circuit includes a sense amplifier for sensing a current level exhibited by a flash cell. Combinatorial logic is coupled to the sense amplifier for identifying a program condition of the flash cell based on the sensed current level, including a brown out condition, in order to provide a warning to avoid potential malfunction from a brown out condition.
