Summary:The present invention relates generally to integrated circuits, and in particular to programming circuits in a memory device. A memory device having a plurality of programming circuits. The programming circuits connect to an input pad to receive a programming voltage. When one of the programming circuits is activated during a programming operation, the activated programming circuit passes the programming voltage to a programming node connected to it. Non-activated programming circuits only pass a portion of the programming voltage to other programming nodes connected to them.
