between ground and the level of the value v b of the wordline supply voltage 210 in some embodiments the value of the pre charge supply voltage may be selected so that is greater than a value v b of the wordline supply voltage 210 but less than approximately twice the voltage value v b this may allow the shared voltage v shared to fall slightly below the value of the wordline supply voltage v b to pre charge the local capacitor c local the switch s 1 may be closed and the output of the decode path may beset at a u201c high u201d state the u201c high u201d state may place the nmos transistor of the wordline driver 215 is an u201c on u201d state so the output of the wordline driver 215 may be grounded or approximately zero volts next the appropriate wordline may be selected through the decode path unit 220 which may set its output to a u201c low u201d value the u201c low u201d value may be input to the wordline driver 215 which turns off the nmos transistor and turns on the pmos transistor the output of the wordline driver 215 is then voltage at the drain of the pmos transistor which is v local within a very short time the charged stored on c local is shared with the wordline capacitor c wl so that an equal charge is carried by both capacitors in the instance where.
