Abstract
A memory device includes a memory cell array and a peripheral circuit. The memory cell array receives a first power supply voltage and includes a plurality of bit cells that store data based on the first power supply voltage. The peripheral circuit is receives a second power supply voltage and controls the memory cell array based on the second power supply voltage. The peripheral circuit includes a voltage generation circuit that receives the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage. The voltage generation circuit adaptively adjusts a word-line driving voltage directly or indirectly based on a difference between the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage during a memory operation on the plurality of bit cells, and applies the word-line driving voltage to a first word-line coupled to first bit cells selected from the bit cells.
