Abstract
A driver circuit for applying both read and program voltages to a wordline of an integrated-circuit memory-cell logic array. The driver circuit is comprised of a series driver transistor pair, of a driver enabling means for enabling and disenabling one of the transistors of the driver transistor pair, and of a latching means. The driver transistor used during read operation may be constructed with a relatively short source-drain channel, permitting faster access speed during read operation of the circuit.
