    Abstract: A circuit for reading a non-volatile memory cell has an output terminal for providing an output current, and a control terminal for receiving a voltage for controlling the output current. The reading circuit includes a feedback circuit which can be connected electrically to the output terminal and to the control terminal to generate the control voltage from a reference signal and from the output current. The feedback circuit also includes a current-amplification circuit having a first terminal for receiving a current-error signal derived from the reference signal and from the output current, and a second terminal for supplying an amplified current.

    Abstract: A timing circuit for reading from a device comprising multi-level non-volatile memory cells, which circuit comprises a single programmable delay block (RC) connected to an input terminal (ATD) for memory address line transition signals. The delay block drives a counter (CONT) which feedback controls the control block through a combinational logic circuit (COMB_SCA) connected to the output terminal (OUT_RC) of the programmable delay block. A logic output circuit (COMB_OUT), connected to the output terminal of the delay block and to the counter, generates the timing signals (OUT).

    Abstract: The voltage generator comprises a negative feedback loop including a programmable voltage divider having a feedback node. The voltage divider comprises a programmable resistor disposed between the output of the voltage generator and the feedback node and having variable resistance. The programmable resistor includes a fixed resistor and a plurality of additional resistors arranged in series with each other and defining a plurality of intermediate nodes. The additional resistors may be selectively connected by means of switches disposed between the output of the voltage generator and a respective intermediate node so as to define an output voltage V0 programmable on the basis of command signals supplied to the switches.
