DRAM bit line precharge voltage generator
A DRAM bit line precharge voltage generator comprises a first amplifier having a first current source and comparing a first voltage with a precharge voltage to control a first PMOS transistor, a second amplifier having a second current source and comparing a second voltage with the precharge voltage to control a second PMOS transistor, a third amplifier having a third current source and comparing a third voltage with the precharge voltage to control a first NMOS transistor, and a fourth amplifier having a fourth current source and comparing the first voltage with the precharge voltage to control a second NMOS transistor. The precharge voltage feedbacks from an output node connected between the second PMOS transistor and the first NMOS transistor. The DRAM bit line precharge voltage generator with a low-frequency pole provided by the first amplifier, the first PMOS transistor, the fourth amplifier, and the second NMOS transistor exhibits the characteristics of robustness, low standby current and low-output impedance.
