Abstract

A memory device is disclosed, including a bit cell storing a bit data. The bit cell includes multiple first transistors coupled to a node, multiple second transistors each coupled in series to a corresponding one of the first transistors, and at least one third transistor. The first transistors are turned on in response to a control signal. The second transistors are turned on in response to a first word line signal. The at least one third transistor has a control terminal to receive a second word line signal. In a programming mode of the memory device, the at least one third transistor provides, in response to the second word line signal, an adjust voltage to the node. The adjust voltage is associated with a voltage level of a first terminal of the at least one third transistor.
