Abstract

A memory is described which uses floating gate transistors as memory cells in a memory array. The memory array has blocks of memory cells coupled to a common bitline. A voltage control circuit is described which provides reference voltages for reducing voltage disturbances in non-selected memory cells while selected memory cells are being programmed.
