Title
(EN) MEMORY DEVICE TRACKING CIRCUIT
(FR) CIRCUIT DE SUIVI D'UNE MEMOIRE
Abstract
(EN)
Tracking circuitry is described for use in a memory device. The tracking circuitry can be used to monitor word line voltages in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and includes a comparator circuit which compares a simulated word line signal to a digit line equilibrate bias voltage. The equilibrate bias voltage is generated using either memory column circuitry or a linear resistor voltage divider.
(FR)
Circuit de suivi destiné à être utilisé dans une mémoire pour surveiller les tensions de lignes de mots dans une mémoire dynamique à accès sélectif (DRAM) et comprenant un circuit comparateur qui compare un signal de ligne de mots simulé à une tension de polarisation d'équilibrage de ligne de chiffres. La tension de polarisation d'équilibrage est générée soit au moyen d'un circuit de colonne de mémoire soit d'un diviseur de tension à résistance linéaire.
