ABSTRACT:
A circuit and method for generating a word line off voltage which can minimize a leakage current by actively adjusting a level of the word line off voltage. The circuit includes a current information provider for providing information about an amount of current flowing through a cell transistor, and a voltage generator for generating a word line off voltage with a varying level depending on the information.
