Abstract
In a nonvolatile memory array in which a select transistor includes a charge storage element, the threshold voltage of the select transistor is monitored, and if the threshold voltage deviates from a desired threshold voltage range, charge is added to, or removed from the charge storage element to return the threshold voltage to the desired threshold voltage range.
