    Floating

    Definition

    A signal line is said to be "floating" if it is not connected to any voltage supply, ground, or ground-referenced signal source.

    One form of non-volatile memory device is achieved via floating gates. The gate of a MOSFET has no connection, allowing charge to remain indefinitely. The gate charge is changed using Fowler-Nordheim tunneling or hot-carrier injection. EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory are examples.
