Abstract

A system and method for effectively implementing a high-speed DRAM device may include memory cells that each have a bitline for transferring storage data, a wordline for enabling an accelerated-write operation in the memory cell, and a data storage node with a corresponding cell voltage. An accelerated-write circuit may then directly provide the storage data to an appropriate bitline in a pre-toggled state in response to one or more accelerated-write enable signals. The corresponding cell voltage may therefore begin a state-change transition towards the pre-toggled state immediately after the wordline is activated to successfully reach a full-state level before the wordline is deactivated during a high-speed memory cycle.
