Abstract:
A memory device includes a plurality of pairs of complimentary bit lines (200, 202) and a plurality of latch circuits. Each pair of the plurality of pairs of complimentary bit lines is coupled to a column of memory cells (31, 37). Each latch circuit has an input coupled to a data line and a first output and a second output to provide complementary latched values dependent upon a value of the data line. For each latch of the plurality of latches, the first output is coupled to a first bit line of a pair of the plurality such that a value of the first bit line is continuously determined by the first output during memory device operation and the second output is coupled to a second bit line of the pair such that a value of the second bit line is continuously determined by the second output during memory device operation.
