Eprom device for storing multi-bit data and read circuit of eprom device

Abstract

An EPROM device may include a unit cell, a switching unit, a multiplexer, and a comparator. The unit cell may be disposed between a bit line, which is coupled to a program voltage supply line, and a ground voltage terminal. The switching unit may be disposed between the bit line and the program voltage supply line, and may control an electrical coupling between the program voltage supply line and the unit cell according to a switching control signal. The multiplexer may selectively output a first reference voltage, a second reference voltage, and a third reference voltage according to an input of binary data. The comparator may compare an output signal of the multiplexer and the bit line, and generate the switching control signal.
