Figure 7-9: IV Characteristics of a written FLOTOX transistor During the erase operation, the voltage on the floating gate node follows the gate control voltage until electrons get injected because of Fowler-Nordheim tunneling [20]. At the onset of tunneling, the floating gate voltage begins to decrease. Once the erase operation is completed by setting the gate control voltage to zero volts, the floating gate potential reaches a negative value depending on the amount of charges trapped on the floating gate [20]. The floating gate behavior is similar during a write operation. 7.2 EEPROM MEMORY ARCHITECTURE The EEPROM memory in addition to the FLOTOX transistor requires special circuits for its operation. Some components of the design are similar to the SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) array while most of them are different. The following components are a part of the EEPROM array: 123
