DEFINITION

Classification: 365/185.2

Reference signal (e.g., dummy cell):

Subject matter under 185.18 wherein a data signal on the floating gate is compared to a threshold level or a fixed signal that acts as a constant for comparison to the data signal.

(1) Note. This subject matter includes reference voltage generation means for reading, programming, erasing, etc.
