Abstract
A word line driver includes all low voltage transistors including a low voltage, word line voltage-controlled, protection transistor. The word line driver receives input signals including: a first power supply signal that toggles between a programmable first voltage and a first voltage-dependent second voltage; an input voltage signal that toggles between the second voltage and the first voltage; a second power supply signal at the second voltage; a third power supply signal at a first voltage-dependent third voltage; and a fourth power supply signal at a fixed fourth voltage. In response, the word line driver outputs a word line voltage signal that toggles between the first voltage and ground. The particular voltage levels of the input signals in combination with the inclusion of the protection transistor prevent safe operating area violations.
