Abstract

A memory includes a power-up circuit configured to increase a first voltage to a first value with a second voltage tied to ground, reduce the first voltage from the first value to a second value with the second voltage floating to reduce the second voltage through a parasitic coupling capacitance, and pump the second voltage to reduce the second voltage to a third value with the first voltage less than the second value.
