Abstract

In a virtual ground memory array, sneak currents between input/output groups of sensed cells may be reduced by providing at least one column of programmed cells between the input/output groups. The sneak currents may arise when cells in each of two adjacent I/O groups are sensed (or programmed) at the same time.
