Memory architecture |
摘要 |
A memory circuit includes a memory cell and a data circuit. In a write operation of the memory cell, the data circuit is configured to provide a first write logical value to the first output of the data circuit and to provide a second write logical value to the second output of the data circuit. The first write logical value is different from the second write logical value. In a read operation of the memory cell, the data circuit is configured to provide a same logical value to the first output and the second output of the data circuit. |

1. A memory circuit comprising:
a memory cell; a first write switching circuit; a first data line; and a data circuit, wherein
a first terminal of the first write switching circuit is coupled with a first output of the data circuit;the first data line is associated with a first node of the memory cell and is coupled with a second terminal of the first write switching circuit;in a write operation of the memory cell,
the data circuit is configured to provide a first write logical value to the first output of the data circuit and to provide a second write logical value to a second output of the data circuit; the first write logical value different from the second write logical value; andthe memory cell is configured to receive data from the first output and the second output as data to be written into the memory cell; andin a read operation of the memory cell, the data circuit is configured to provide a same logical value to the first output and the second output of the data circuit, and the first data line is pre-charged to the same logical value in the read operation. |
