Abstract
A method includes delaying an input voltage signal to generate an output voltage, enabling a capacitor unit to apply across a word line driver a boosted voltage greater than the output voltage, and enabling the word line driver to provide a driving voltage that corresponds to the boosted voltage. A word line driving unit that performs the method and a memory device that includes the word line driving unit are also disclosed.
