US Patent 7289387 Wordline decoder of non-volatile memory device using HPMOS

A wordline decoder for a non-volatile memory device includes a first inverter to invert a block selection signal into a first inverted result on a first node, a second inverter to invert the signal on the first node into a second inverted result on a second node, a first and a second transistor, each coupled to a power supply, coupled in series between the second node and a third node, a third transistor coupled between the third node and a fourth node having a gate coupled to the third node, a fourth transistor coupled between a high voltage supply and a fifth node having a source coupled to the high voltage supply and a gate coupled to the third node, and a fifth transistor coupled between the fifth node and the third node having a gate coupled to the first node.
