DEFINITION

Classification: 257/322

With charging or discharging by control voltage applied to source or drain region (e.g., by avalanche breakdown of drain junction):

(under subclass 316) Subject matter wherein the variable threshold device is structured to charge or discharge a floating gate electrode by a control voltage applied to source or drain region (e.g., by avalanche breakdown of drain junction).
