  • Abstract
    The operation of the flash memory, which has matured over the last five years from a novelty product, is described. Both dual and single supply voltage devices are considered. Flash memory cycling, data reliability, program/erase algorithms, and blocking are discussed. Three approaches to flash memories are examined. The uses of these devices and some new architectures are considered.<>
