Abstract

NVM arrays include rows and columns of NVM cells comprising a floating gate, dual transistor, inverter storage element. Supply voltage for selected storage elements is turned off during a programming and an erase mode. Isolation transistors for each NVM cell or for each row of NVM cells may be used to control the supply voltage.
