Abstract
A 1Mb embedded 2T-SONOS Flash macro is implemented in 0.13um logic compatible process. The Flash macro has improved reliability and yield with a power-on Successive Approximated Read Calibration (SARC). Word-line decoder area is greatly reduced using 1.8V transistors to tolerate high voltage. Source degenerated compensation is implemented to enhance read margin. The Flash macro consumes 1.0mA at 50ns 1.8V access and 0.5uA in standby mode, and achieves one million cycling and 20-year data retention.
