Abstract

The invention provides a clamp voltage generating circuit capable of generating a correct clamp voltage. The clamp voltage generating circuit includes an emulate transistor, having a drain coupled to a power source VDD, a source coupled to a node, and a gate coupled to the clamp voltage; a current setting circuit, connected between the node and ground, for setting a current flowing from the node to the ground; a regulator, inputting a feedback voltage from the node and a reference voltage, and outputting a voltage VCLMP. The current setting circuit duplicates a current of a bit line, so that the emulate transistor is similar to a charge transfer transistor.
