Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including an apparatus having a first transistor configured to be coupled to a first bit line, and a control circuit configured to supply a gate of the first transistor with a first voltage to turn on the first transistor, and to supply the gate of the first transistor with a second voltage higher than the first voltage to strengthen a current drive capability of the first transistor.
