Abstract
A non-volatile memory device comprises an array of memory cells and a charge pump coupled to the memory cells. The charge pump is dynamically reconfigurable to operate in a bypass mode to provide a first voltage to the memory cells, a program mode to provide the first voltage to the memory cells, and an erase mode to provide a second voltage that has inverse polarity of the first voltage.
