    Abstract: A row decoder circuit for a phase change non-volatile memory device may include memory cells arranged in a wordlines. The device may be configured to receive a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage higher than the first supply voltage. The row decoder may include a global predecoding stage configured to receive address signals and generate high-voltage decoded address signals in a range of the second supply voltage and a biasing signal with a value based upon an operation. The row decoder may include a row decoder stage coupled to the global predecoding stage. The row decoder stage may include a selection driving unit configured to generate block-address signals based upon the high-voltage decoded address signals and a row-driving unit configured to generate a row-driving signal for biasing the wordlines based upon the block-address signals and the biasing signal.

    Abstract: An embodiment voltage generation circuit, for a memory having a memory array with a plurality of memory cells coupled to respective wordlines and local bit-lines, each having a storage element and selector element, a bipolar transistor being coupled to the storage element for selective flow of a cell current during reading or verifying operations, and a base terminal of the selector element being coupled to a respective wordline; associated to each bit-line is a biasing transistor having a control terminal, and the circuit generates a cascode voltage for this control terminal; a driver stage is coupled to one end of each wordline. The circuit generates the cascode voltage based on a reference voltage, which is a function of the emulation of a voltage drop on the driver stage, on the wordline, and on the memory cell as a result of a current associated to the corresponding selector element.

    Abstract: A level shifter circuit configured to shift an input signal switching within a first voltage range to generate a first output signal correspondingly switching within a second voltage range higher than the first voltage range. The level shifter circuit including a latching core having latching input and output terminals and a supply line configured to be supplied by a supply voltage, and a reference line configured to be coupled to a reference voltage. Capacitive coupling elements are coupled to the latching input and output terminals of the latching core. A driving stage is configured to bias the capacitive coupling elements with biasing signals generated based on the input signal. A decoupling stage is configured to be driven by the driving stage through the capacitive coupling elements to decouple the supply line from the supply voltage and the reference line from the reference voltage during switching of the input signal.
