Abstract

See full text

A memory array includes a plurality of memory pages, each memory page includes a plurality of memory bytes, each memory byte includes a plurality of memory cells, and each memory cell includes a floating gate module, a control element, and an erase element. Memory bytes of the same column are coupled to the same erase line, and memory bytes of different columns are coupled to different erase lines. Therefore, the memory array is able to support byte operations while the memory cells of the same memory byte can share the same wells. The circuit area of the memory array can be reduced and the operation of the memory array can be more flexible.
