发明名称 Voltage switch circuit
摘要 A voltage switch circuit is connected to a memory cell of a non-volatile memory. When the non-volatile memory is in a program mode and the memory cell is a selected memory cell, two output terminals provide a high voltage. When the non-volatile memory is in the program mode and the memory cell is a non-selected memory cell, the two output terminals provide a medium voltage and a ground voltage. When the non-volatile memory is in an erase mode and the memory cell is the selected memory cell, the two output terminals provide the high voltage and the ground voltage. When the non-volatile memory is in the erase mode and the memory cell is the non-selected memory cell, the two output terminals provide the ground voltage. When the non-volatile memory is in a read mode, the two output terminals provide a read voltage.
