1. In a flash EEPROM chip having a plurality of flash EEPROM cells, a programmable voltage generator circuit comprising:

  • means for generating, in response to an enable signal, a high voltage and a high current from a low voltage source connected to said high voltage and high current generating means;

    a plurality of registers respectively storing information indicative of a plurality of voltages suitable for programming, reading and erasing selected ones of said plurality of flash EEPROM cells; and

    a plurality of digital-to-analog converters connected to said high voltage and high current generating means, wherein individual ones of said plurality of digital-to-analog converters are coupled to at least one of said plurality of registers to provide an analog output voltage proportional to the information stored in said at least one register.
