Abstract
A ferroelectric memory includes a constant voltage source, a capacitor having first and second electrodes, and a transistor having a gate. A switch alternately connects the gate of the transistor to the first electrode and the constant voltage source. In another embodiment, there are two ferroelectric transistors, and the first electrode of each capacitor is connected both to the gate of the transistor and to a voltage source external of the memory.
