Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for a programmable memory array. A programmable memory system includes an array of programmable memory bit cells. A memory bit cell of the array includes a first transistor of a first type controlled by a bit line, a second transistor of a second type responsive to a first word line and a second word line via a logic gate, and a third transistor of the second type responsive to the word line. The first word line is positioned substantially perpendicular to the bit line, and the second word line is positioned substantially parallel to the bit line. The first word line is activated via an X portion of an address. While the second word line is activated via a Y portion of the address.
