Abstract:
In one embodiment, a memory such as a dynamic random access memory employs charge boosting to bitcells prior to sensing charge levels in the storage nodes of the bitcells. It is believed that such an arrangement may be employed to improve bitcell read-out voltages, reduce refresh power consumption, improve restore voltage levels or other features, depending upon the particular application. Other aspects are described herein.
