Abstract
A non-volatile memory includes a memory array having a plurality of non-volatile memory cells, and a first decoder module coupled to the memory array. The first decoder module includes a first plurality of word line decoders coupled to the non-volatile memory cells, a first plurality of bit line decoders coupled to the non-volatile memory cells, a first multiplexor circuit configured to selectively couple one of the first plurality of word line decoders or one of the first plurality of bit line decoders to a positive bias node, and a second multiplexor circuit configured to selectively couple one of the first plurality of word line decoders or one of the first plurality of bit line decoders to a negative bias node. The first multiplexor circuit and the second multiplexor circuit are each coupled to a word line decoder and a bit line decoder outside a boundary of the first decoder module.
