Abstract
In a method for boosting a word line signal, the word line signal is transitioned from a first voltage value of the word line signal to a second voltage value of the word line signal, thereby turning on a first transistor. The first transistor and a second transistor turn on a third transistor. The third transistor causes the word line signal at a first terminal of the third transistor to reach a voltage value at a second terminal of the third transistor, thereby causing the word line signal to reach the voltage value faster than without the third transistor. The first transistor and the second transistor are coupled in series.
