    Abstract: Numerous embodiments for an improved sense amplifier circuit for reading data in a flash memory cell are disclosed. The embodiments each compare current or voltage measurements from a data block with a reference block to determine the value stored in the selected memory cell in the data block. The use of one or more localized boost circuits allow the embodiments to utilize lower operating voltages than prior art sense amplifier circuits, resulting in reduced power consumption.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. An array of non-volatile memory cells is located in the semiconductor substrate and arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. Each memory cell comprises a first region on a surface of the semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type, and a second region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate of the second conductivity type. A channel region is between the first region and the second region. A word line overlies a first portion of the channel region and is insulated therefrom, and adjacent to the first region and having little or no overlap with the first region. A floating gate overlies a second portion of the channel region, is adjacent to the first portion, and is insulated therefrom and is adjacent to the second region. A coupling gate overlies the floating gate. A bit line is connected to the first region. During the operations of program, read, or erase, a negative voltage can be applied to the word lines and/or coupling gates of the selected or unselected memory cells.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit die has a first die pad for receiving a first voltage and a second die pad for receiving a second voltage. The second voltage is less than the first voltage and is generated by a voltage regulator that receives the first voltage. A first circuit which is operable at the first voltage is in the integrated circuit die. A second circuit which is operable at the second voltage is in the integrated circuit die and is connected to the second die pad. The voltage regulator is enabled by a controller.
