    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic device, including a plurality of row decoders. Each row decoder includes decoder logic generating an initial word line signal and word line driver circuitry generating an inverse word line signal at an intermediate node from the initial word line signal, and generating a word line signal at a word line node from the inverse word line signal. A word line underdrive p-channel transistor has a source coupled to the intermediate node, a drain coupled to a word line underdrive sink, and a gate controlled based upon the inverse word line signal. Negative bias generation circuitry generates the negative bias voltage at a gate of the word line underdrive p-channel transistor when the initial word line signal is at a logic high, and couples the gate of the word line underdrive p-channel transistor to ground when the initial word line signal is at a logic low.

    Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure refers to retention of data in a storage array in a stand-by mode. A storage device comprises one or more storage array nodes, and a Rail to Rail voltage adjustor operatively coupled to the storage array nodes. The Rail to Rail voltage adjustor is configured to selectively alter the voltage provided at each said storage array node during stand-by mode. The storage device may further comprise a storage array operatively coupled to said Rail to Rail voltage adjustor and a Rail to Rail voltage monitor operatively coupled to said storage array nodes and configured to control said Rail to Rail voltage adjustor to provide sufficient voltage to retain data during stand-by mode.

    Abstract: A row decoder includes decoder logic generating an initial word line signal, and two inverters. The first inverter is formed by a first p-channel transistor having a source coupled to a supply voltage and a gate receiving the initial word line signal. The second inverter is formed by a first n-channel transistor having a drain coupled to a drain of the first p-channel transistor, a source coupled to a shared ground line, and a gate receiving the initial word line signal. An inverse word line signal is generated at the drain of the first n-channel transistor. A second inverter inverts the inverse word line signal to produce a word line signal. Negative bias generation circuitry generates a negative bias voltage on the shared ground line when the initial word line signal is logic high, and otherwise couples the shared ground line to ground.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array powered between a virtual supply and virtual ground nodes. A dummy memory array is powered between first and second nodes. A virtual supply generation circuit generates a virtual supply voltage at the virtual supply node as a function of a first control voltage. A virtual ground generation circuit generates a virtual ground at the virtual ground node as a function of a second control voltage. A first control voltage generation circuit coupled between the first node and a power supply voltage generates the first control voltage as tracking retention noise margin (RNM) of the memory array, the first control voltage falling as the RNM decreases. A second control voltage generation circuit coupled between the second node and ground generates the second control voltage as tracking RNM of the memory array, the second control voltage rising as the RNM decreases.
