ABSTRACT:
A flash EEPROM array architecture including a plurality of pages is provided according to the principles of this invention. Each page of the array is isolated from other pages in the array during reading, programming and erasing of the page. The novel architecture of this invention includes means for erasing through the gate of the flash EEPROM cell.
