Abstract
A data control unit is used to proved program, erase and verify signals to a non-volatile metal-oxide3-nitride-oxide-semiconductor (MONOS) memory. The data control unit comprises a plurality of sub-units that each contains a sense amplifier, two bi-directional flip-flop latches coupled in series and a program, erase and verify circuit. The two flip-flop latches each perform a task as a master latch or a slave latch depending on the memory operation. The program, erase and verify circuit in each sub-unit are connected together in a serial fashion such that multiple verification results are accumulated into one final result. Control signals are exchanged between a chip control unit and the data control unit to perform specified memory operations.
