ABSTRACT:
Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a single charge pump is discussed that may provide a read voltage having a tolerance of less than about ±200 millivolts (mV) at an output terminal of the single charge pump. The output terminal of the single charge pump may be coupled to a flash memory to couple the read voltage to the memory to read information stored in the memory.
