Abstract

See full text

Circuitry for discharging a drain of a cell of a non-volatile semiconductor memory is described. A discharge transistor is coupled between (1) the drain of the cell and (2) ground for selectably (a) providing a discharge paths to ground for the drain of the cell when the discharge transistor is enabled and (b) not providing a discharge path to ground for the drain of the cell when the discharge transistor is not enabled. Circuitry is coupled to the discharge transistor for enabling the discharge transistor for a duration that both begins and ends (1) after a first operation is performed with respect to the cell and (2) before a verify operation is performed with respect to the cell.
