Word Line Driver for Low Voltage Operation

Abstract:

Systems and method are provided for a word line driver. A first supply branch is configured to provide a source voltage level for a word line. A second supply branch is configured to provide a boosted voltage for the word line. The word line driver is configured to apply the source voltage level to the word line based on a first selection signal, and the word line driver is configured to apply the boosted voltage to the word line based on a second selection signal, the second selection signal being delayed relative to the first selection signal.
