Tracking bit cell |
摘要 |
A memory macro includes a tracking circuit and a plurality of memory cells. The tracking circuit has tracking transistors configured to receive a tracking voltage value. Each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells has memory transistors configured to receive a cell voltage value different from the tracking voltage value. The tracking circuit is configured to generate a tracking signal based on which a reading signal of a memory cell of the plurality of memory cells is generated. |
