A new floating gate programmable device cell is achieved. The device comprises, first, a negative injection transistor having drain, source, bulk, and gate. The source and bulk are coupled to ground. The drain forms an output of the cell. A positive injection transistor has drain, source, bulk, and gate. The drain, source, and bulk are coupled to a programming voltage. The gate is coupled to the negative injection transistor gate to form a floating gate node. Finally, a capacitor has a first terminal coupled to the floating gate node and a second terminal coupled to a control voltage. The states of the programming voltage and the control voltage determine negative charge injection onto the floating gate node and positive charge injection onto the floating gate node. A voltage on the floating gate node comprises a nonvolatile memory state that is detectable by the impedance of the output.
