摘要 |
A first current value flowing through a transistor coupled with a storage node of a memory cell is determined when the transistor is off. A second current value flowing through the transistor is determined when the transistor is in on. A first reference voltage value at a reference node of the memory cell when the transistor is off is higher than a second reference voltage value at the reference node when the transistor is on. Based on the first current value, the second current value, and a relationship between the first current value and the second current value, a number of memory cells to be coupled with a data line associated with the memory cell is determined. |

1. A method comprising:
determining a first current value flowing through a transistor coupled with a storage node of a memory cell when the transistor is off; determining a second current value flowing through the transistor when the transistor is on, wherein a first reference voltage value at a reference node of the memory cell when the transistor is off is higher than a second reference voltage value at the reference node when the transistor is on; and based on the first current value, the second current value, and a relationship between the first current value and the second current value, determining a number of memory cells to be coupled with a data line associated with the memory cell. |
