    Abstract: A memory device includes rows and columns of memory cells, word lines each connected to a memory cell row, bit lines each connected to a memory cell column, a word line driver connected to the word lines, a bit line driver connected to the bit lines, word line switches each disposed on one of the word lines for selectively connecting one memory cell row to the word line driver, and bit line switches each disposed on one of the bit lines for selectively connecting one memory cell column to the bit line driver. A controller controls the word line switches to connect only some of the rows of memory cells to the word line driver at a first point in time, and controls the bit line switches to connect only some of the columns of memory cells to the bit line driver at a second point in time.

    Abstract: A memory device with memory cell pairs each having a single continuous channel region, first and second floating gates over first and second portions of the channel region, an erase gate over a third portion of the channel region between the first and second channel region portions, and first and second control gates over the first and second floating gates. For each of the pairs of memory cells, the first region is electrically connected to the second region of an adjacent pair of memory cells in the same active region, and the second region is electrically connected to the first region of an adjacent pair of the memory cells in the same active region.
