Memory for a voltage regulator circuit
First Claim
1. A memory, comprising:
- a memory array comprising a plurality of source lines and a plurality of memory units, wherein each one of the source lines is electrically coupled to a respective group of memory units;
a decoder comprising an input terminal and a plurality of output terminals, the decoder being configured to have the output terminals thereof electrically coupled to the source lines, respectively; and
a voltage regulator circuit configured to provide a supply voltage to the input terminal of the decoder and electrically coupled to the output terminals of the decoder, the voltage regulator circuit being configured to generate a feedback signal according to a signal outputted from one output terminal of the decoder and a control signal, and consequently adjust the value of the supply voltage according to the feedback signal.

Abstract
A supply voltage generation circuit includes a comparison unit, a voltage level control unit and a voltage regulator circuit. Comparison unit is configured to compare input data and output data of a memory array to each other and thereby generating a comparison result, wherein output data are storage data stored in a plurality of memory units of the memory array processed by a program operation according to the input data, and comparison result indicates the number of different bits existing between the output data and the input data. Voltage level control unit is configured to generate a control signal according to the comparison result. Voltage regulator circuit is configured to provide a supply voltage for the memory array and adjust value of the supply voltage according to the control signal. A memory and an operation method of a supply generation circuit used for a memory array are also provided.
