Abstract:
Techniques for suppression of program disturb in flash memory devices are described herein. In an example embodiment, an apparatus comprises a flash memory device coupled to a microprocessor. The flash memory device comprises rows and columns of memory cells, where the memory cells in each row are coupled to a source line and to a select-gate (SG) line, and the memory cells in each column are coupled to a respective bit line (BL). A control circuit in the flash memory device is configured to regulate both a first voltage, of a selected SG line, and a second voltage, of an unselected BL, independently of a power supply voltage of the flash memory device, and to adjust at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage based on a measure of an operating temperature of the flash memory device.

Claim (Index 22):
The apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein a first memory cell is coupled to the selected SG line during a memory operation to program the first memory cell, and a second memory cell is coupled to the unselected bit line during the memory operation, the second memory cell being adjacent to the first memory cell in the same row of the flash memory device.
