ABSTRACT:
A voltage booster circuit includes a driver circuit (117) for generating a 3-state output for driving wordlines via row decoder circuits in an array of flash EEPROM memory cells during read and programming modes of operation. The driver circuit effectively disconnects a large booster capacitor (115) in order to allow a small charge pump (114) to further pump up the wordline voltage during programming. As a result, the booster pump has improved efficiency since there is achieved a significant reduction in power consumption.
