1. A method for operation of an integrated DRAM-NVRAM cell having a DRAM function and a NVRAM function, the cell comprising a DRAM gate, a NVRAM control gate, a DRAM source region, a NVRAM source region, a shared drain region, and a bitline coupled to the shared drain region, the method comprising:

  • applying a ground potential to the NVRAM source region;

    applying a first voltage to the NVRAM control gate; and

    applying a second voltage to the DRAM gate in order to read one of a plurality of data bits from the NVRAM function in response to the first voltage and the second voltage.
