  • Publication number: 20240153553
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a non-volatile memory device is proposed. The device includes a plurality of local pull-up stages distributed along a group of memory portions in a memory array. Each local pull-up stage includes, for each wordline that extends through the group of memory portions, a corresponding local pull-up transistor of an NMOS type. The local pull-up transistors of each local pull-up are configured to locally decouple the corresponding wordline from a node at a first reference potential in response to a wordline that extends through the group of memory portions being selected, and locally couple the corresponding wordline to the node at the first reference potential in response to all the wordlines that extend through the group of memory portions being deselected to restore locally a deselection voltage on a wordline previously selected.

  • Patent number: 11908514
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a non-volatile memory device includes a memory array including a plurality of memory portions, each memory portion having a respective plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, wherein the memory portions are arranged in groups, each group of memory portions having a plurality of respective memory portions arranged in a row and a plurality of respective wordlines that extend through the respective memory portions, and wherein the memory cells of the memory portions of the group are coupled to the respective wordlines and a row decoder including a pre-decoding stage configured to execute a selection, in which it selects a wordline that extends through a group of memory portions and deselects other wordlines that extend through the group of memory portions, and a subsequent deselection, in which it deselects all the wordlines that extend through the group of memory portions, wherein the row decoder further includes, for each group of memory portions, a shared pull-up stage config
