Abstract
The invention provides a memory apparatus including a memory cell array and a voltage generation circuit. The voltage generation circuit is electrically connected to the memory cell array and includes an active voltage circuit and a sensing circuit. The active voltage circuit is configured to output an operating voltage to the memory cell array when the memory apparatus is in an active mode. The sensing circuit is configured to sense the operating voltage when the memory apparatus is in a standby mode and briefly activate the active voltage circuit to pull up the operating voltage after the operating voltage drops below a threshold.
