    Abstract: A method for the in-writing verification of the threshold value of the multilevel cells suitable to memorize n bits each, that provides for the utilization of a sense amplifier containing a respective successive approximation register. An output signal of a comparison circuit provides for the loading of the datum to be programmed in the cell being selected, after which a programming pulse is applied and the comparison between the reference current corresponding to said datum and the current that flows in the cell is carried out. The application of the programming pulse and the performance of the comparison are then repeated until it is verified that the current of the cell is smaller than the reference current.

    Abstract: A circuit having a current mirror circuit with a first node and a second node connected, respectively, to a controllable current source and to a common node connected to the drain terminals of selected memory cells. A first operational amplifier has inputs connected to the first node and the second node, and an output connected to a control terminal of the selected memory cells and forming the circuit output. A second operational amplifier has a first input connected to a ramp generator, a second input connected to the circuit output, and an output connected to a control input of the controllable current source. Thereby, two negative feedback loops keep the drain terminals of the selected memory cells at a voltage value sufficient for programming, and feed the control terminal of the memory cells with a ramp voltage that causes writing of the selected memory cells. The presence of a bias source between the second node and the common node enables use of the same circuit also during reading.
