A non-volatile memory (NVM) cell splits its basic function, i.e. program, erase, read and control, among a four PMOS transistor structure, allowing independent optimization of each function. The cell structure also includes an embedded static random access memory (SRAM) cell that utilizes a latch structure to preprogram data to be written to the cell. The programming method for the cell utilizes a reverse Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism with a very small programming current, allowing an entire NVM array to be programmed at one cycle.
