Abstract

Circuit includes an (E)EPROM and a programming voltage generator. This generator has a charge pump, a programming voltage controller and an edge controller which limits the increase of the programming voltage per unit of time. In the memory circuit, the controllers are fed back to the charge pump in order to switch the charge pump on or off in dependence on the programming voltage variation.
