ABSTRACT:
A reference cell programming system comprising a memory device and a tester. The memory device includes a memory array having at least one non-volatile reference cell and a sense amplifier coupled to sense a cell current conducted by the reference cell. The tester is coupled to the memory to program the reference cells to a designated charge level. Moreover, the tester provides a reference current that is coupled to the sense amplifier and monitors an output of the sense amplifier.
