US 10,896,706 B2 · FX driver circuit

Abstract

A FX phase driver for a memory device having a first driver circuit including a first pull-up circuit configured to drive a first phase signal to a first high state value and a first pull-down circuit configured to drive the first phase signal to a first low state value. The phase driver also including a second driver circuit including a second pull-up circuit configured to drive a second phase signal to a second high state value that is higher than an active state voltage level of a word line in the memory device and a second pull-down circuit configured to drive the second phase signal to a second low state value. The second pull-down circuit includes a stabilization circuit configured to provide a resistive path for a leakage current in the second pull-down circuit when the second pull-up circuit drives the second phase signal to the second high state value.
