Abstract

A memory device includes a memory cell electrically connected to a power line and a power supply unit configured to control a voltage level on the power line. The power supply unit receives a control signal corresponding to a write cycle of the memory cell and, responsive to a first state of the control signal, outputs a first voltage level on the power line. Responsive to a second state of the control signal, the power supply unit outputs a second voltage level on the power line, the second voltage level having a magnitude less than a magnitude of the first voltage level.
