Abstract
This paper presents a very fast recovery voltage regulator for large capacitive loads in multilevel (ML) Flash memories. A suitable low-power structure limits positive output overshoots during transients, thereby allowing the basic regulation loop to be designed for very high recovery speed. The circuit is therefore able to quickly restore the output voltage to its regulated value when a previously discharged capacitance is connected to its output. Typical applications include read word-line and program bit-line voltage regulators for ML Flash memories, where accurate and quickly regulated voltages are vital for optimal read and program operations. Computer simulations for a 0.18 /spl mu/m 2 bit/cell 64 Mb Flash memory are shown.
