Abstract
A device includes multiple row power lines and multiple row control lines arranged in rows, where each row control line corresponds to one of the row power lines. The device also includes multiple column power lines arranged in columns. The device further includes multiple unit cells, where each unit cell is coupled to one of the row power lines and one of the row control lines and selectively coupled to one of the column power lines. In addition, the device includes multiple row power switches and multiple column power switches arranged in pairs, where each pair includes one of the row power switches and one of the column power switches. Each pair is configured to selectively (i) connect a corresponding one of the rows and a corresponding one of the columns or (ii) isolate the corresponding one row and the corresponding one column from each other.
