ABSTRACT:
A source line driver for a flash memory includes a plurality of source driving units and a control circuit to drive a plurality of source lines. Each source line is coupled to memory cells in a row. Each source driving unit drives the corresponding source line and is coupled to the control circuit at a common node. The control circuit is coupled between the common node. The control circuit is coupled between the common node and a ground line. When any memory cell is assigned to execute a program operation, the control circuit isolates the common node and the ground. When the memory cells are not assigned to execute the program operation, the control circuit couples the common node to the ground line.
