Abstract
A memory component includes at least one memory bank array, a DQ region, a clock tree, and a voltage generator. The memory component is configured in a semiconductor wafer. The at least one memory bank array is configured such that data is read out of it during a read operation. The clock tree is coupled to the DQ region and is configured for driving data during the read operation. The voltage generator is coupled to at least some components of the clock tree in order to provide at least some of the components of the clock tree with an increased voltage.
