ABSTRACT:
A floating gate circuit in a read mode that includes at least one floating gate and an analog feedback circuit is disclosed. The feedback circuit causes the floating gate circuit to reach a steady state condition in the read mode such that a reference voltage is generated that is a predetermined function of an input set voltage used to set the at least one floating gate. In a preferred embodiment, the reference voltage generated is approximately equal to the input set voltage.
