Abstract

See full text

A circuit for clamping the voltage appearing on the bit lines of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device so that the voltage thereon is maintained above the low reference voltage source. The circuit includes pull-up devices connected to the bit lines of the DRAM device. The pull-up devices are active only when pull-down devices connected to the bit lines pull some of the bit lines towards the low reference voltage level.
