Abstract
A programmable precharge circuit includes a plurality of transistors. Each transistor has a different threshold voltage from other transistors of the plurality of transistors. Each transistor is configured to connect a supply voltage to a node, and the node is selectively coupled to bitlines in accordance with a memory operation. Control logic is configured to enable at least one of the plurality of transistors to provide a programmable precharge voltage to the node in accordance with a respective threshold voltage drop from the supply voltage of one of the plurality of transistors.
