Abstract:
Systems, devices, methods, and circuits for managing read timing in semiconductor devices are provided. In one aspect, a semiconductor device includes: a memory array configured to store data and a circuitry coupled to the memory array and configured to read stored data from the memory array. The circuitry is configured to: obtain a starting address of target data to be read based on a read instruction, determine that the starting address is in a first address group of a plurality of address groups, each of the plurality of address groups being associated with a respective reading speed, and read out the target data from the memory array based on the starting address being in the first address group.
Abstract:
A memory device and a word line driver thereof are provided. The word line driver includes a first word line signal generator, a second word line signal generator, a first voltage generator, and a second voltage generator. The first word line signal generator selects one of a first voltage and a second voltage to generate a first word line signal according a control signal. The second word line signal generator selects one of a third voltage and a fourth voltage to generate a second word line signal according the control signal. The first voltage generator provides the second voltage, and the second voltage generator provides the fourth voltage, where the first voltage generator is independent to the second voltage generator.
Abstract:
