Abstract:
Commonly, read times of a memory line are slowed due to voltage overshoot and/or voltage undershoot. To eliminate these problems, a control component can manage voltage while a leakage component manages timing of voltage. This allows for a line pre-charge that produces increase read times. The control component can implement as a variable resistor that modifies value to compensate for temperature. The leakage component can include a capacitor configuration that allows voltage to pass.
