Memory cell array operated with multiple operation voltage

摘要

A memory cell array includes a bit line, a complementary bit line, a first operation voltage supply circuit, a second operation voltage supply circuit, a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The first operation voltage supply circuit is electrically coupled to the bit line and the complementary bit line and used for supplying a first operation voltage. The second operation voltage supply circuit is electrically coupled to the bit line and the complementary bit line and used for supplying a second operation voltage. The first memory cell is electrically coupled to the bit line and the complementary bit line and used for receiving the first operation voltage. The second memory cell is electrically coupled to the bit line and the complementary bit line and used for receiving the second operation voltage. The first and second memory cells are located in a same column in the memory cell array.
