Abstract
A flash memory includes input/output buffers, a memory array having memory cells coupled to the input/output buffers, and row and column decoders, and a voltage-generator circuit coupled to the row and column decoders. A microcontroller is coupled to the command user interface. Switch-instruction circuitry selectively provides instructions to the microcontroller from the read-only memory and from off chip through on-board t-latches coupled to the input/output buffers under control of a command user interface.
