Abstract

A method, system, and circuit for performing a memory related operation are disclosed. An operating voltage is applied to a bitline and a neighboring bitline is precharged. The precharge voltage has a magnitude less than the operating voltage. Both voltages ramp up at like or different rates. The precharge voltage can reach its effective magnitude prior to or with the operating voltage reaching its effective value.
