A standard single well (e.g., n-well) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process compatible voltage pump switch routes -10 Volt for erasing a floating gate transistor when an IC substrate is grounded at 0 Volts. The voltage pump switch also routes extreme positive voltages for programming or reading the floating gate transistor. P-channel field-effect transistors (PFETs) multiplex both the read/write/programming and erasing voltages, such as in a block-erasable flash electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM). The voltage pump switch includes a charge pump for providing to the PFET routing the erasing voltage a gate voltage that is more negative than the erasing voltage by the PFET turn-on threshold voltage (VT) magnitude.
