Abstract

Embodiments include a method comprising: receiving a first voltage; and while testing a memory cell: modifying the first voltage to generate a second voltage that is different from the first voltage; and performing a first read operation on the memory cell, based on applying (i) the second voltage to an array of transistors of the memory cell and (ii) the first voltage to the memory cell.
