An electronic circuit can include a first memory cell and a second memory
cell. In one embodiment, source/drain regions of the first and second
memory cells can be electrically connected to each other. The
source/drain regions may electrically float regardless of direction in
which carriers flow through channel regions of the memory cells. In
another embodiment, the first memory cell can be electrically connected
to a first gate line, and the second memory cell can be electrically
connected to a greater number of gate lines as compared to the first
memory cell. In another aspect, the first and second memory cells are
connected to the same bit line. Such bit line can electrically float when
programming or reading the first memory cell or the second memory cell or
any combination thereof.
