ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a circuit for equilibrating a bitline and a plateline of a dynamic plate sensing memory device. The circuit includes a first device for driving the plateline toward a predetermined voltage in response to a first control signal, a second device for driving the bitline toward the predetermined voltage in response to a second control signal, and a third device for connecting the plateline to the bitline in response to a third control signal. A method for equilibrating a plateline and a bitline of a dynamic plate sensing memory device is also disclosed.
