AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing memory devices require repeated setup, read, and restore operations when reading data, resulting in latency and reduced performance.

Method used

By setting multiple word line signals to the same voltage value during the setting period, and selecting and maintaining the selected word line signal at the selected voltage value and the unselected word line signal at the unselected voltage value during the reading period, continuous reading operation is achieved.

Benefits of technology

It improves the read operation speed of the memory device, reduces word line signal switching, and improves data acquisition efficiency.
