ABSTRACT:
A flash memory cell can be read by selecting a local bit line. A read potential is applied to a memory cell transistor associated with the local bit line thereby generating a capacitive loading of the local bit line. The capacitive loading depends upon a magnitude of charge stored on a floating gate of the memory cell transistor. The capacitive loading of the local bit line can then be assessed to determine a state of the memory cell transistor, the state being related to the magnitude of the charge stored on the floating gate.
