Abstract
A word line decoder is provided. The word line decoder includes a word line drive circuit including a first and a second drive transistor. A first terminal of the first drive transistor receives a first signal, and a control terminal of the first drive transistor receives a first control signal. The second drive transistor is coupled to the first drive transistor, a second terminal of the second drive transistor receives a revised global word line voltage, and a control terminal of the second drive transistor receives a global word line voltage. The first terminal of the second drive transistor and the second terminal of the first drive transistor are coupled to a gate terminal of a cell in a memory array. In an erase operation and the cell is not selected for erase, the first signal is a Hi-Z state and coupled to the gate terminal of the cell.
