Abstract
A programmable non-volatile memory device effectuates two different functions (read, erase (re-program)) during a single instruction or command. During a first phase of the command a cell state is determined by a memory controller circuit, and in a second phase of the same command the cell state is re-written. This implementation is useful for applications where it is desirable to permit one time access only of particular data/content.
