Abstract
A memory device and its operation reduce the impact of a parasitic wire Resistance and Capacitance (RC) in the memory device. At least one of a rise transition and a fall transition of a signal transmitted by a long metal line is sensed by a sense circuit of a signal boosting circuit. At least one of a Pull Up (PU) circuit and a Pull Down (PD) circuit of the signal boosting circuit is enabled to speed-up one or both of the rise transition and the fall transition of the signal transmitted by the long metal line. The duration of an operation of one of the PU circuit and the PD circuit may be controlled using a control signal.
