ABSTRACT:
A voltage boost circuit is provided which supplies a gate voltage to an insulated gate transistor. The voltage boost circuit has a voltage supply circuit, a supply line for connection to the gate of the insulated gate transistor and connected to the voltage supply circuit for precharge, a boost precharge circuit connected to the supply line and a capacitive element for boosting the voltage on the supply line. The circuit also has a facility for resetting the voltage on the supply line to its initial value after operation of the boost circuit.
A memory array including such a voltage boost circuit is also provided, together with a method of boosting a gate voltage for insulating gate transistors in a memory array.
