Abstract

A method for writing a memory cell in a specific write cycle is provided. The method includes the following steps: providing a first signal having a first transition edge in the specific write cycle; providing a second signal having a second transition edge in the specific write cycle, wherein the second transition edge lags behind the first transition edge; providing a first voltage level to the memory cell; and lowering the first voltage level to a second voltage level in the specific write cycle for writing the memory cell in response to the second transition edge. A memory device is also provided.
