Abstract
A memory cell includes a floating gate transistor, a word line transistor, a first capacitance element, and a second capacitance element. The floating gate transistor has a first terminal for receiving a bit line signal, a second terminal, and a floating gate. The word line transistor has a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the floating gate transistor, a second terminal for receiving a third voltage, and a control terminal for receiving a word line signal. A voltage passing device is for outputting a second voltage during an inhibit operation and a first voltage during a program operation or an erase operation. The first capacitance element is coupled to the first voltage passing device and the floating gate, and for receiving a first control signal. The second capacitance element is for receiving at a second control signal.
