  • Publication number: 20220246192
    Abstract: The invention relates to DRAM with sustainable storage architecture. The DRAM comprises a first supplying voltage source generating a voltage level corresponding to signal ONE utilized in the DRAM chip, and a DRAM cell which includes an access transistor and a storage capacitor. Wherein a first voltage level is higher than the voltage level corresponding to signal ONE, and the first voltage level is generated by a first sustaining voltage generator. The first sustaining voltage generator is electrically coupled to the storage capacitor of the DRAM cell during a turning-off period of the access transistor of the DRAM cell. A clean up circuit is provided to mitigate the difference between the voltages of BL/BLB and the targeted reference voltage during the equalization period.
