In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory device is provided. In some embodiments, the memory device comprises a plurality of bit cells arranged in a matrix of rows and columns; a plurality of write driver lines, each write driver line selectively connectable to a bit line or a bit-bar line of at least one respective column of bit cells; a plurality of write driver line switches to selectively connect a respective write driver line to ground; a plurality of boost capacitors, each connected to a respective write driver line to selectively inject a negative charge thereon; and a plurality of adaptive control transistors, each connected to a respective write driver line to automatically siphon off some of the negative charge thereon when a voltage applied to a gate of the adaptive control transistor equals or exceeds a threshold voltage of the adaptive control transistor.
A memory device comprising:
A method for adaptive write control of a memory device, the method comprising:
