    摘要: A technique for generating an adjustable boost voltage for a device includes charging, using first and second switches, a capacitor to a first voltage during a charging phase. The technique also includes stacking, using a third switch, a second voltage onto the first voltage across the capacitor in a boost phase to generate a boost voltage. In this case, the boost voltage is applied to a driver circuit of the device only during the boost phase and at least one of the first and second voltages is adjustable, thereby making the boost voltage adjustable.

    摘要: In a circuit that reduces power consumption in an array system of memory cells accessible in parallel, a local evaluation circuit is connected to a memory cell and a global bit line of the array system of memory cells. A selection circuitry splits the global bit line into an upper part and a lower part of the global bit line. The selection circuitry is adapted to receive an early set prediction signal and to connect the upper part of the global bit line to the lower part of the global bit line based on the early set prediction signal. The early set prediction signal indicates whether a set of memory cells, which include the memory cell, is being read. The circuit also includes a N:1 multiplexer connected to the lower part of the global bit line to receive the lower part of the global bit line as input.
