Abstract:
A memory device Input/Output includes a memory cell having a local bit line. A first IO circuit is coupled to the local bit line and is configured to output a local IO signal to a global bit line. A second IO circuit is coupled to the global bit line and is configured to output a global IO signal. A latch circuit is configured to latch the local IO signal in response to a data signal on the local bit line.
