Abstract
A method of secure erase of an electronic device that applies a predetermined voltage to a device. The voltage is selected to be high enough to quickly destroy all data cells of the electronic device, but not high enough to destroy lines to the data cells of the electronic device. Accordingly, since the voltage is too low to destroy the word or bit lines, the predetermined voltage is applied to every data cell using the word or bit lines such that all data is removed. The present invention has the advantage of quickly, reliably, and permanently removing all of the data from the electronic device. The predetermined high voltage can differ for different types of SSDs.
