Abstract

The present invention discloses a random access memory and the memory access method thereof capable of avoiding read disturbance and increasing reading speed. An embodiment of the said random access memory comprises: a word line; a word line driving unit, coupled to the word line, operable to receive an access control signal to generate a word line enablement voltage; a voltage adjusting unit including a switch and a capacitor in which the switch is coupled to the word line and operable to receive a control signal to determine a conduction state of the switch itself and the capacitor is coupled to the switch and operable to adjust a voltage level of the word line enablement voltage according to the conduction state; and a memory unit, coupled to the word line, operable to be enabled according to the word line enablement voltage.
