    Abstract: A negative charge pump circuit comprises a plurality of charge pump stages (S1'-S4') connected in series to each other. Each stage has a stage input terminal (SI) and a stage output terminal (SO). A first stage (S1') has the stage input terminal (SI) connected to a reference voltage, a final stage (S4') has the stage output terminal (SO) operatively connected to an output terminal (O) of the charge pump at which a negative voltage is developed; intermediate stages (S2' ,S3') have the respective stage input terminal (SI) connected to the stage output terminal (SO) of a preceding stage and the respective stage output terminal connected to the stage input terminal of a following stage. Each stage (S1'-S4') comprises a first N-channel MOSFET (M1') with a first electrode connected to the stage input terminal (SI) and a second electrode connected to the stage output terminal (SO), a second N-channel MOSFET (M2') with a first electrode connected to the stage output terminal (SO) and a second electrode connected to a gate electrode of the first N-channel MOSFET (M1'), a boost capacitor (CP) with one terminal connected to the gate electrode of the first N-channel MOSFET and a second terminal driven by a respective first digital signal (A',C') switching between the reference voltage and a positive voltage supply (VDD), and a second capacitor (CL) with one terminal connected to the charge pump stage output terminal (SO) and a second terminal connected to a respective second digital signal (B',D') switching between the reference voltage and the voltage supply (VDD). A gate electrode of the second N-channel MOSFET (M2') is connected, in the first stage (S1'), to a third digital signal (D') switching between the reference voltage and the voltage supply, while in the remaining stage the gate electrode of the second N-channel MOSFET is connected to the stage input terminal (SI).

    Abstract: Presented is a memory architecture including at least first, second and third voltage booster circuits adapted to generate, on respective first, second and third circuit nodes, at least first, second and third boosted voltage references. These boosted references are in turn connected to first, second and third adjusters, which are adapted to provide respective first, second and third voltage references as required for the operations of programming, erasing and verifying cells of the memory architecture. At least a first switch block is used that connects between the first and third circuit nodes and is controlled by a first control signal to place the first and third high-voltage references in parallel during cell verify operations, thereby to provide one equivalent high-voltage source having a higher capacity for current than individual sources and effectively speed up the charging of the first circuit node so as to shorten the settling time of the first voltage reference. A method is also presented for generating voltage references with a reduced value of settling time as produced within a memory architecture.

    Abstract: A method of programming cells of a destination page of a nonvolatile memory and verifying whether logic values stored in programmed cells of a source page of the same memory have been correctly copied into corresponding cells of the destination page, exploits both the fast but inadequate-at-times Global Verify operation and, if the Global Verify operation fails for a certain number of attempts, the Byte-by-byte Verify operation, which is slower but accurate.

    Abstract: The programming method includes the following steps: sequentially receiving (23, 27) a plurality of data words; temporarily storing (24, 29) each data word after its reception; and simultaneously writing (31, 35) in parallel the plurality of stored data words in a memory array. After reception and temporary storage of each data word, the memory increments (25) an address counter and sends a "ready" signal (26). Upon reception of each new data word (27), the memory verifies whether the address associated thereto is in the same sector as the initial data word (28) and whether n data words have already been stored (30). If the sector is different, blind-programming step is terminated (35, 36) and the verifying is carried out (37); if the sector is the same but n data words have already been stored temporarily, the memory writes the temporarily stored words in the memory array (31), updates the address counter (25), and then sends the "ready" signal (26).
