Abstract
In one aspect, a method for NOR flash cell-array programming in a neural circuit includes the step of erasing a cell array. The method includes the step of programming a set of reference cells of a reference cell array to a target reference threshold voltage (V). The method includes the step of generating, with the reference cells, a current or voltage, reference signal. The method includes the step of using the reference signal to bias the neural cells during verification of program state of the neural cells to achieve their respective target threshold voltages (V). The method includes the step of programming a set of neural cells of a neural cell array to their respective target threshold voltages.
