Abstract

A memory device generates a select voltage and an unselect voltage on bit lines and generates a bit line select voltage having a magnitude less than the unselect voltage so that the application of the bit line select voltage to a gate of a transistor receiving the select voltage causes the transistor to conduct, and the application of the bit line select voltage to a gate of a transistor receiving the unselect voltage biases the transistor off.
