Abstract
Disclosed herein are related to a memory device. In one aspect, the memory device includes a memory cell, a precharge circuit, a reset voltage control circuit, and a logic control circuit. In one aspect, the precharge circuit is configured to set a voltage of the bit line to a first voltage level. In one aspect, the reset voltage control circuit includes a transistor coupled to the bit line to set the voltage of the bit line to a second voltage level. The transistor can be arranged or operate as a diode. In one aspect, the logic control circuit is configured to cause the reset voltage control circuit to set the voltage of the bit line to the second voltage level during a reset phase and cause the precharge circuit to set the voltage of the bit line to the first voltage level during a precharge phase after the reset phase.
