Abstract:
A hierarchical sectioned bit line of an SRAM memory device, an SRAM memory device having a sectioned bit line in hierarchy, and associated systems and methods are described. In one illustrative implementation, each sectioned bit line may comprise a local bit line, a memory cell connected to the local bit line, and a pass gate coupled to the local bit line, wherein the pass gate is configured to be coupled to a global bit line, and wherein the sectioned bit lines are arranged in hierarchical arrays. In other implementations, a hierarchical SRAM memory device may be configured involving sectioned bit lines and a global bit line wherein the pass gates are configured to connect and isolate the sectioned bit line and the global bit line.
