  • Publication number: 20240144997
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first memory array, a first bit line, a second memory array, a second bit line, a first conductive line and a first control circuit. The first bit line crosses over and is coupled to the first memory array, and extends along a first direction. The second bit line crosses over the second memory array, and is coupled to the first bit line. The first conductive line crosses over the second memory array and a part of the first memory array, and is configured to operate as a part of a first capacitor. The first control circuit is configured to couple the first conductive line to the second bit line when the first memory array is written.

  • Publication number: 20240079052
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first memory bank, a second memory bank and a first write driver. The first memory bank is coupled to a plurality of first data lines, and configured to operate according to a first data signal. The second memory bank is configured to operate according to the first data signal. The first write driver is disposed between the first memory bank and the second memory bank, and configured to adjust a voltage level of one of the plurality of first data lines when the first memory bank is written according to the first data signal.

  • Patent number: 8427886
    Abstract: A memory device includes at least one memory cell including a storage element electrically connected with a source potential line. A drive strength of the storage element is controlled as a function of a voltage level on the source potential line. The memory device further includes a clamp circuit electrically connected between the source potential line and a voltage source. The clamp circuit is operative to regulate the voltage level on the source potential line relative to the voltage source. A control circuit of the memory device is connected with the source potential line. The control circuit is operative to adjust the voltage level on the source potential line as a function of an operational mode of the memory device. A coarseness by which the voltage level on the source potential line is adjusted is selectively controlled as a function of at least a first control signal.
