ABSTRACT:
A DRAM memory cell with improved data retention includes an access transistor, a capacitor, and a configurable voltage generator. The configurable voltage generator provides a cell plate voltage of 1/2VDD during an active mode and VDD during a non-active mode. The higher cell plate voltage during the non-active mode provides strong wordline disturbance immunity without negatively biasing the wordline. Because the wordline is not negatively biased, power dissipation caused by cross-fails are reduced.
