BITLINE PRECHARGE VOLTAGE GENERATOR, SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE COMPRISING SAME, AND METHOD OF TRIMMING BITLINE PRECHARGE VOLTAGE

摘要

A bitline precharge voltage generator comprises a leakage trimming unit and a bitline precharge voltage providing unit. The leakage trimming unit applies a leakage current to an output node to place a bitline precharge voltage at an edge of a dead zone. The bitline precharge voltage providing unit provides the bitline precharge voltage to the output node, and sets the bitline precharge voltage to a target level. The bitline precharge voltage generator generates the bitline precharge voltage having a distribution including the dead zone.
