Method of controlling a wordline

A method of controlling a wordline by a driver decoder circuit, the method comprising:

• generating a first control signal on a first control signal path, the first control signal having a first logically high level and a first logically low level;
• generating a second control signal on a second control signal path, the second control signal having
• a second logically high level when the first control signal has the first logically high level, and
• a second logically low level when the first control signal has the first logically low level;
• coupling the wordline to a first node having a first voltage value in response to the first control signal having the first logically low level;
• and
• decoupling the wordline from a second node having a second voltage value in response to the second control signal having the second logically low level,
• wherein
• generating the first control signal having the first logically high level comprises coupling the first control signal path to the first node, and
• generating the second control signal having the second logically low level comprises coupling the second control signal path to the second node.

• generating a first control signal having a first logically high level and a first logically low level;
• generating a second control signal having
• a second logically high level when the first control signal has the first logically high level, and
• a reference voltage level when the first control signal has the first logically low level;
• coupling the wordline to a first node having the first logically high level in response to the first control signal having the first logically low level;
• and
• decoupling the wordline from a second node having a second logically low level lower than the reference voltage level in response to the second control signal having the reference voltage level,
• wherein the first logically low level is between the reference voltage level and the second logically high level.
