Abstract
An integrated circuit that includes a generator unit connected to one or more pull-up units, one or more pull-up units connected to one or more source lines and an array of memory cells connected to the one or more source lines. The generator unit is configured to set a first voltage signal of each pull-up unit of the one or more pull-up units. Each pull-up unit of the one or more pull-up units is connected with the corresponding source line of the one or more source lines and is configured to set a current of the corresponding source line of the one or more source lines. The array of memory cells is electrically connected to the one or more source lines and one or more bit lines.
