Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device having a plurality of decoders, wherein each decoder is assigned to a select line, wherein no other decoder is assigned to the select line, each decoder has an output configured to charge the select line to when the decoder is activated and to discharge the select line when said decoder is deactivated. Also, each decoder is configured such that, in case that a first decoder gets deactivated after being activated and a second decoder of the decoders gets activated after being deactivated, the output of the first decoder and the output of the second decoder get connected to a common node for a predefined time interval, so that an electrical charge may be transferred from the select line, to the first decoder is assigned to, to the select line, to which the second decoder is assigned to, before the output of the first decoder gets connected to a reference voltage and the output of the second decoder gets connected to a supply voltage.
Abstract:
A level shifter device comprises a first stage level shifter configured to transform an input signal to a first output signal having a voltage between at least one of a VPS control voltage and a ground or a VDD supply voltage and a VNS control voltage. The level shifter device comprises a second stage level shifter arranged subsequent to the first stage level shifter and configured to transform the first output signal to a second output signal having a voltage between the ground and the VDD supply voltage.
