Abstract
A plate line segment selector circuit, coupled to a plate line segment, a plate line and a word line, may include (a) a P-channel transistor having a gate terminal connected to the plate line, a source terminal connected to the word line, and a drain terminal connected to the plate line segment; and (b) a N-channel transistor having a gate terminal connected to the plate line, a drain terminal connected to the plate line, and a source terminal connected to a ground reference voltage source. Alternatively, the plate line segment selector circuit may include: (a) a P-channel transistor having a gate terminal connected to the plate line, a source terminal connected to a predetermined voltage source, and a drain terminal; (b) a N-channel transistor having a gate terminal connected to the plate line, a source terminal connected to a ground reference voltage source, and a drain terminal; and (c) a field effect transistor having a gate terminal connected to the word line, a first drain or source terminal connected to the drain terminals of the P-channel and N-channel transistors and a second drain or source terminal connected to the plate line segment.
