Read assist for memory circuits with different precharge voltage levels for bit line pair
Abstract:
A method increases stability of a memory circuit by pre-charging at least one bit line of the memory circuit to a first voltage, pre-charging at least one other bit line of the memory circuit to a second voltage, and equalizing charge across the bit lines so that the bit lines are pre-charged with a third voltage.
