Abstract
A circuit includes a first word line coupled to a non-volatile memory (NVM) cell. A first path includes a first inverter and a transistor. The transistor is coupled to the word line. The first path is coupled to receive a first input voltage signal. A second path includes at least the transistor coupled to the word line. At least a portion of the second path is embedded within the first path. The second path is coupled to receive a second input voltage signal.
