Read Spike Mitigation in Integrated Circuit Memory

Abstract:

An integrated circuit memory device, having: a first wire; a second wire; a memory cell connected between the first wire and the second wire; a first voltage driver connected to the first wire; and a second voltage driver connected to the second wire. During an operation to read the memory cell, the second voltage driver is configured to start ramping up a voltage applied on the second wire after the first voltage driver starts ramping up and holding a voltage applied on the first wire.
