    摘要: A memory device is provided, including a first bit cell including a first memory cell coupled to a first word line and a second bit cell including a second memory cell coupled to a second word line. The first and second memory cells are coupled to a first control line and further coupled to a first bit line through first and second nodes. The second bit cell further includes a first protection array coupled to the second memory cell at the second node coupled to the first bit line and further coupled to a third word line. When the first and second bit cells operate in different operational types, the first protection array is configured to generate an adjust voltage to the second node according to a voltage level of the third word line while the first bit cell is programmed.

    摘要: A memory device is disclosed, including a bit cell storing a bit data. The bit cell includes multiple first transistors coupled to a node, multiple second transistors each coupled in series to a corresponding one of the first transistors, and at least one third transistor. The first transistors are turned on in response to a control signal. The second transistors are turned on in response to a first word line signal. The at least one third transistor has a control terminal to receive a second word line signal. In a programming mode of the memory device, the at least one third transistor provides, in response to the second word line signal, an adjust voltage to the node. The adjust voltage is associated with a voltage level of a first terminal of the at least one third transistor.
