Abstract

An electronic driver circuit for word lines in a memory matrix is described. The driver circuit has coded outputs of a driver source, in particular of a current/voltage source, which are switched through to selected word lines. In this context, the word lines are selected in blocks by a control signal, and the outputs of the driver source are connected thereto. The coding of the driver source then selects the respective active word line.
