Abstract
A flash memory system for use in an electronic system comprising an integrated circuit such as a microcontroller. The flash memory system embodies one or more circuits adapted to operate at sub- or near-threshold voltage levels. These low-power circuits are selectively activated or de-activated to balance power dissipation with the response time of the memory system required in particular applications.
