Abstract
Circuitry for programming a non-volatile semiconductor memory is described. The circuitry includes a circuit for enabling the non-volatile semiconductor memory to program a bit of the non-volatile semiconductor memory. The enabling circuit causes the bit to be programmed according to a pattern bit. The circuitry also includes a second enabling circuit, which enables the non-volatile semiconductor memory to verify the programming of the bit. Circuitry for erasing a non-volatile semiconductor memory is disclosed. A method for programming a nonvolatile semiconductor memory is also described.
