Abstract
In one embodiment, a circuit arrangement with a column latch has a first terminal (A) for connection to a bit line (BL) of a nonvolatile memory, a second terminal (A) connected via a first switchable path (P) to a reference-potential terminal (VSS) and via a second switchable path (P) to a supply-potential terminal (VPP), and the column latch (), which is coupled to the second terminal (A) and is adopted for storing a potential at the second terminal (A). The first terminal (A) is coupled to the second terminal (A) via a first switchable connection (L) and via a second switchable connection (L). A method for operating a column latch is additionally disclosed.
