threshold a '0' is stored in the EEPROM registers. By sweeping the external margin voltage the effective
threshold voltages of each EEPROM cell can be identified. The threshold voltages of cells programmed to '1'
can be found in this way. The smallest possible margin voltage is 0V, it is therefore not possible to determine
the threshold voltages below 0V for the cells programmed to '0'.
