Abstract
A memory with improved write current is provided, including a bit line, a write switch and a control circuit. The write switch is coupled between a voltage source and the bit line, and has a control terminal. Based on a bit line select signal, the control circuit controls the electric conductance of the write switch and discharges/charges the parasitic capacitors of the write switch. The voltage source is turned on after the control terminal of the write switch reaches a pre-determined voltage level.
