发明名称 Charge sharing flash clear for memory arrays
摘要 A static random access memory provides interconnection of local wordlines and bit lines to share charge during bulk write operations. Prior to a bulk write cycle, a bit line for each memory cell is driven to a first voltage level. Subsequently, the bit lines and the local wordlines are interconnected for sharing charge between the bit lines and the local wordlines. Next, the bit lines are disconnected from the local wordlines and the bit lines are driven to a second voltage level while the local wordlines are driven to the first voltage level to address the memory cells. Then the bit lines and local wordlines are reconnected to distribute charge from the local wordlines to the bit lines. Lastly, the bit lines are again disconnected from the local wordlines and driven to the first voltage level preparatory to resuming normal operation.
