    Abstract: A signal generator circuit is configured to generate program signals for a memory array. The program signals are applied to word lines in the memory array, and have a transient state based on a coupling characteristic of the word lines and selector gates. The transient state is configured to minimize coupling between the word lines and the gates of the selectors so that a state of each selector remains unchanged during the transient state.

    Abstract: Method and system for configuring parameters used in flash memory devices. A load instruction and associated address are retrieved from a read-only memory, and the address is used to select a configuration register storing a configuration value. The configuration value is loaded to an associated dedicated register to configure a parameter of the flash memory in a flash memory operation. In another aspect, one or more selected configuration values not stored in a ROM are changed if a tested flash memory operation is not within desired specifications.

    Abstract: Aspects for program pulse generation during programming of nonvolatile electronic devices include providing a configurable voltage sequence generator to manage verify-pulse and pulse-verify switching as needed during modification operations of a programming algorithm for nonvolatile electronic devices, wherein more efficient modification operations result. In this manner, highly flexible bit sequence generation that can be easily managed by a microcontroller occurs, resulting in a shorter code length, a faster execution time, and ease of reuse in different devices. More particularly, fully compatible voltage sequence generation is introduced that can be applied on the terminals of the flash cells being modified and permits an efficient and time saving management of pulse-verify and verify-pulse switching.
