Voltage boost reset circuit for a flash memory

摘要

A voltage boost circuit (111) for a memory (100) includes a boosting circuit (110) which is coupled to a boosted node (120) to boost a word line voltage for accessing a core cell of the memory. The voltage boost circuit further includes a reset circuit (112) coupled to the boosted node and including a switchable zero-threshold transistor (202) for resetting the boosted node to a reset voltage (VCC).
