A simple technique for quickly detecting an address of an anomalous memory cell for flash EEPROM devices is described. A proposed Multi-Address Selection Scheme (MASS) can drastically reduce measurement cycles for searching an address of an anomalous memory cell which has an abnormally high or low threshold voltage. A systematic evaluation for the reliability of flash EEPROM has been realized by this quick address detection technology
