Abstract
A method supplies voltage to a bit line of a memory device. The method includes precharging, with a precharging device, the bit line to an output potential, deactivating the precharging device during a read action related to the bit line, reading, during the read action, an information via the bit line, and routing, during the read action, a virtual voltage supply line to a supply potential of the memory device to supply voltage to memory cells of the memory device assigned to the bit line. The precharging device of the bit line is activated/deactivated as a function of the potential of the virtual voltage supply line.
