Abstract

The object of present invention is to provide a programming switch for non-volatile memory wherein output voltage Vout versus input voltage Vin satisfies the following relations: (1) While Vin is logic '0', Vout is logic '0'; (2) While Vin is logic '1', Vout is about the value of programming voltage Vpp if programming is executed and about the value of supply voltage Vcc if programming is not executed. The present invention is characterized in that it can be utilized in general non-volatile memory and the supply voltage needed can be as low as 2 volts, resulting in body effect almost giving no influence.
