Abstract
A memory circuit and method to reduce wordline coupling is disclosed. The circuit includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows (, and) and columns (). A first conductor () is coupled to a plurality of the rows (, and) of memory cells. A first transistor () has a current path coupled between a voltage supply terminal () and the first conductor () and a control terminal coupled to receive a first control signal (PLV). A second transistor () has a current path coupled between the voltage supply terminal and the first conductor and a control terminal coupled to receive a second control signal (PLW).
