ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit is described which includes a supply voltage detection circuit. The detection circuit produces an output which indicates a voltage range of the supply voltage. The output of the detection circuit is used to adjust the operation of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is described as a flash memory device which can include a controller to monitor the output of the detection circuit, or provide the output to an external controller. The controller uses the detection circuit output to adjust memory operation, such as a programming pulse length.
