Abstract
A method for programming a non-volatile memory (NVM) and an integrated circuit is disclosed. In an embodiment an integrated circuit includes a memory plane organized into rows and columns of memory words, each memory word comprising memory cells and each memory cell including a state transistor having a control gate and a floating gate and write circuitry configured to program a selected memory word during a programming phase by applying a first nonzero positive voltage to control gates of the state transistors of the memory cells that do not belong to the selected memory word.
