Source line bias is an error introduced by a non-zero resistance in the ground loop of the read/write circuits. During sensing the source of a memory cell is erroneously biased by a voltage drop across the resistance and results in errors in the applied control gate and drain voltages. This error is minimized when the applied control gate and drain voltages have their reference point located as close as possible to the sources of the memory cells. In one preferred embodiment, the reference point is located at a node where the source control signal is applied. When a memory array is organized in pages of memory cells that are sensed in parallel, with the sources in each page coupled to a page source line, the reference point is selected to be at the page source line of a selected page via a multiplexor.
