Abstract:
A main word driver may be coupled to a subword driver to drive a main word line to select the subword driver. The main word driver may include a first transistor having a body and source/drain both coupled to a well. The main word driver may include a well control circuit configured to bias the well. In some examples, the well control circuit may provide a first low potential to the well followed by a second low potential lower than the first potential responsive to a precharge command. The main word driver may include a second transistor coupled to the well control circuit to receive the first and second low potentials and couple the first and second low potentials to the main word line. The body of the second transistor may be coupled to the well. Additional transistors in the main word driver may also be coupled to the well.
