Abstract

A memory device includes an array of memory cells, the memory device including a bitline biasing circuit for biasing a bitline during a write operation. The bitline biasing circuit operating to provide a negative biasing voltage to the bitline. The magnitude of the negative biasing voltage is inversely proportional to a memory cell supply voltage level provided at a memory cell supply voltage node.
