Abstract

A circuit for clearing selected bytes in a semiconductor electrically alterable memory in which the ground lines for any one column of bytes is isolatable from the ground lines for other columns, all the outputs for the bytes are urged toward a non-clearing condition, and the outputs for only the selected byte are used to introduce a clearing signal that dominates the non-clearing condition.
