Abstract
An Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) memory array (FIG.) is disclosed. The memory array includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each memory cell has a switch (), an access transistor (), and a sense transistor (). A current path of each access transistor is connected in series with a current path of each respective sense transistor. A first program data lead () is connected to the switch of each memory cell in a first column. A bit line () is connected to the current path of each access transistor in the first column. A read select lead () is connected to a control terminal of each access transistor in the first row. A first row select lead () is connected to a control terminal of the switch in each memory cell in a first row.
