Boosted voltage driver for bit lines and other circuit nodes
Abstract:
A memory device is described with NAND strings and corresponding BL connected to SSL, a first power supply circuit, a second power supply circuit to distribute a higher supply voltage than the first power supply circuit, and a page buffer that generates program/inhibit outputs having a level between the first power supply voltage and a first reference voltage. Data line drivers drive nodes coupled to corresponding BL with a first voltage or a second voltage between the second power supply voltage and a second reference voltage. A data line driver includes a first switch transistor connected between the data line node and the second power supply circuit, a second switch transistor between the data line node and the second voltage reference, and a boost circuit to boost the gate of the first switch transistor above the first supply voltage level to turn on the first switch transistor.
