Abstract
Flash memory arrays are described. In one embodiment, a flash memory array includes memory sectors of Two-Transistor (2T) AND memory cells. Within each of the memory sectors, a row of sector selection transistors is configured such that writing data onto a memory column within the memory sector is controlled by applying a voltage to a bit line, independent from the row of sector selection transistors. Other embodiments are also described.
