Abstract
A method for controlling current fluctuations during read and program operations in a memory structure is provided. The method includes applying a first voltage to a first gate of a word line decoder transistor. The method further includes applying a second voltage to a second gate of a bit line decoder transistor such that the first voltage is greater than the second voltage. The method also includes maintaining the source voltage of the bit line decoder transistor at about zero.
