Apparatus for discharging control gates after performing an access operation on a memory cell

Abstract:

Apparatus configured to perform an access operation on a memory cell of an array of memory cells, discharge a control gate of a first field-effect transistor after performing the access operation, discharge a control gate of a second field-effect transistor connected in series between the first field-effect transistor and the memory cell after discharging the control gate of the first field-effect transistor, and discharge a control gate of the memory cell after discharging the control gate of the second field-effect transistor.
