Abstract
The invention is an automatic precharge circuit featuring precharge devices each of which is interposed between a high voltage node, connectable to a supply potential, and a serial node. The precharge devices are gated automatically by a primary predecode signal of a decode portion of the row decoder. Power is conserved since the serial nodes are passively pulled to the supply potential through the precharge devices. The invention increases speed and provides error free wordline selection.
