Abstract

A programmable, non-volatile transfer-device includes floating gate structures to control the transfer of signals from a set of inputs to a single output. Each floating gate structure includes two gates, logically coupled to each other in a master/slave mode, whereby the programming of the first gate controls the operation of the second gate. The floating gate structures are combined to implement a programmable multiplexer, without the use of static-RAM cells.
