ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a compiler, circuits and a method for generating a flash memory for integrated circuits. This invention provides a flash memory compiler which can generate flexible configurations which are a function of the flash memory array bit count. In addition, this flash compiler of this invention has the ability to optimize the resultant flash memories so as to produce the correct amount of flash array current driving capability and minimal wasting of power dissipation as a function of the flash memory array size.
