| 1. A non-volatile memory device, comprising:
a plurality of word lines;
a plurality of bit lines;
a plurality of non-volatile memory cells each connected to a corresponding bit line and a corresponding word line, wherein
information is stored in a selected one of the memory cells by applying a first voltage to the corresponding word line to
which the selected cell is connected and a second voltage to the corresponding bit line to which the selected cell is connected;
a switch whereby the second voltage is provided to the bit line corresponding to the selected cell; and
a voltage generator circuit connected to received a program enable signal and provide to the switch for the control thereof
a voltage gated by the leading edge of the program enable signal, whereby the ramp rate of the second voltage is controlled
by the ramp rate of the voltage gated by the leading edge of the program enable signal.
