Abstract
A programming verify circuit for controlling the memory cells to which programming voltages are applied, the circuit including a comparator for testing the state of each cell being programmed with the state to which the cell is being programmed, and a program load circuit which responds to the result of the test by the comparator to hold a condition for each memory cell being programmed to indicate whether the memory cell should be further programmed, each program load circuit including circuitry for precluding the holding of a condition indicating further programming is necessary once the associated memory cell has been initially verified as programmed by the comparator.
