A two-transistor, zero-power, electrically-alterable non-volatile latch element comprises an input node, an output node, and an erase node. A P-Channel MOS transistor has a source connected to a source of first electrical potential, a drain connected to the output node, a control gate connected to the input node, and a floating gate capacitively coupled to the control gate. An N-Channel MOS transistor has a source connected to a source of second electrical potential lower than the first electrical potential, a drain connected to the output node, a control gate connected to the input node, and a floating gate capacitively coupled to the control gate and electrically connected to the floating gate of the P-Channel MOS transistor. The floating gates of the P-Channel MOS transistor and the N-Channel MOS transistor are capacitively coupled to the erase node via a tunnel dielectric. |
