Abstract: A device includes several first switching units and several second switching units. Each of the first switching units transmits in response to a first select signal, an auxiliary signal. Each of the second switching units is coupled to a corresponding one of the first switching units and transmits in response to a second select signal, a write voltage to a corresponding one of multiple circuit cells. The second switching units are coupled with each other in a node which receives the write voltage.

Abstract: A device includes a circuit cell, a voltage regulator, a first switching unit, a second switching unit, and a third switching unit. The voltage regulator is configured to output a write voltage. The first switching unit is configured to generate, in response to a control voltage, a current represented by an auxiliary signal. The second switching unit is configured to receive the auxiliary signal, and to turn on to transmit the auxiliary signal to the circuit cell. The third switching unit is configured to receive the write voltage, and to turn on to transmit the write voltage to the circuit cell.
