Abstract
This paper presents a new approach to obtain automatic and accurate co ntrol of the threshold voltage of floating-gate MOSFET's programmable by means of tunneling current. The proposed method avoids using a seri es of partial write/erase operations followed by measurements and adju stment steps, thus achieving a significant advantage in terms of progr amming time for the same accuracy. The simplicity of the proposed meth od and its inherent speed make it ideal in a wide range of possible ap plications.
