Abstract:
A variable voltage generation circuit includes a first amplification circuit and a second amplification circuit. The first amplification circuit generates a first output voltage based on a reference voltage, a first feedback voltage, a temperature-varied voltage and a temperature-fixed voltage such that the first output voltage is varied in a first voltage range according to a variation of the operational temperature. The first amplification circuit generates the first feedback voltage based on the first output voltage. The second amplification circuit generates a second output voltage based on the first feedback voltage, a second feedback voltage, the temperature-varied voltage and the temperature-fixed voltage such that the second output voltage is varied in a second voltage range wider than the first voltage range according to the variation of the operational temperature. The second amplification circuit generates the second feedback voltage based on the second output voltage.
Abstract:
In a method of programming a nonvolatile memory device, a program operation is performed on a selected memory cell coupled to a selected word line in response to a program command, a negative bias voltage is applied to the selected word line, a verification pass voltage is applied to an unselected word line after the negative bias voltage is applied to the selected word line, and a first program verification voltage, which is higher than the negative bias voltage and lower than a ground voltage, is applied to the selected word line.
