Abstract
A signal generator circuit is configured to generate program signals for a memory array. The program signals are applied to word lines in the memory array, and have a transient state based on a coupling characteristic of the word lines and selector gates. The transient state is configured to minimize coupling between the word lines and the gates of the selectors so that a state of each selector remains unchanged during the transient state.
