Abstract:
Disclosed herein are related to a memory device including a memory cell and a bias supply circuit providing a bias voltage to the memory cell. In one aspect, the bias supply circuit includes a bias memory cell coupled to the memory cell, where the bias memory cell and the memory cell may be of a same semiconductor conductivity type. The memory cell may include at least two gate electrodes, and the bias memory cell may include at least two gate electrodes. In one configuration, the bias memory cell includes a drain electrode coupled to one of the at least two gate electrodes of the bias memory cell. In this configuration, the bias voltage provided to the memory cell can be controlled by regulating or controlling current provided to the drain electrode of the bias memory cell.
