Working Principles

The NM93C13M8 utilizes a floating gate technology to store data in non-volatile memory cells. When data is written, charge is trapped in the floating gate, altering the threshold voltage of the memory cell. This change in threshold voltage determines the stored data value. The data can be read by applying appropriate voltages to the memory cells and sensing the resulting current flow.
