Voltage shifting word-line driver and method therefor |
摘要 |
A memory device is disclosed that includes a plurality of word-lines, with each word-line connected to at least one bitcell. Each of the plurality of word-lines is connected to a corresponding driver module to drive the word-line in response to a corresponding select signal. Further, each driver module is connected to a level shifter to shift the corresponding select signal so that the driver module provides a level-shifted signal at the first word-line in response to assertion of the first select signal. A single level shifter can be connected to multiple driver modules, thereby reducing the area required to implement level-shifting for multiple word-lines.
