    摘要: A memory includes a first bit line, a memory cell coupled to the first bit line, and a read assist device coupled to the first bit line. The read assist device is configured to pull a first voltage on the first bit line toward a predetermined voltage in response to a first datum being read out from the memory cell. The read assist device includes a first circuit configured to establish a first current path between the first bit line and a node of the predetermined voltage during a first stage. The read assist device further includes a second circuit configured to establish a second current path between the first bit line and the node of the predetermined voltage during a second, subsequent stage.
