Abstract
A voltage stabilizer of an embedded flash memory to modulate an input voltage VDD with a wide range of variation to a fixed voltage as an output. The voltage at the bit line of the selected memory cell can be fixed to avoid error access. The voltage stabilizer of the embedded flash memory performs a voltage range inspection using a voltage inspector. Comparing to a standard value, an input voltage higher or lower than the standard value is output from a first terminal or a second terminal, respectively. The input voltage output from the first or second terminals is then stabilized to output a fixed voltage.
